Here's where small government conservatives want the government to protect an employee of a private company unwilling to fulfill their job responsibilities.
Why the hypocrisy?
"Religious Beliefs"
Oh that's why.
If you want to repeal laws like the Civil Rights Act, then go lobby for it, but arguing that selective discrimination is fine and that it is hypocritical to be against it as a "small government conservative" shows ignorance of what being a "small government conservative" actually is.

In reality, Travis drew a line that he HOPED his men WOULD cross, and Laenas was basically threatening the Greek kinglet (I forget his name) that he better NOT cross the line.

If prescribing birth control goes against your faith, don't work in a job that expects you to prescribe birth control. It's really that simple.
This is true. If CVS wants to fire an employee for not doing what they're told to do, they should be able to fire them. She is not a slave. She chooses to work there. Find a place that aligns with your beliefs. Surely they're out there? Idk for sure.

Why can’t this allegedly aggrieved patient go elsewhere to obtain birth control?
Or keep her legs closed, or make the dude wear a condom?

God knows, the priority of health care should be the happiness of the workers, rather than the needs of the patients.

Is this the only CVS in town, and also the only way to get a prescription?
Seems like the folks that need it, should just shop elsewhere.

you can see where this may be an issue for cvs? instead of one nurse for the job they need the nurse and need someone else to help do the things the nurse refused to do.
even if no one was "prevented" from being serviced, people may have complained that it took 2 visits to do something that shouldve only taken 1. or decrease in business over delays while the nurse had to wait for someone to be available to help. CVS may also be liable in the event that the 'backup' for the nurse fell through.

exactly. now say you are that CVS. how accomodating should you be with this employee given your sentiment that folks should just shop elsewhere.

quote:Nurse practitioners have a lot to do. This is just one of her responsibilities and it's not even an entire responsibility she's asking for an accommodation for. If she's an otherwise good worker, making an allowance for a conscience issue shouldn't be a problem at all, especially when it doesn't adversely affect the business. It's also likely a legal trap they are falling into by not accommodating.

quote:Yep, it sounds like that could have resulted in an inconvenience at certain times. The story cited in the OP said that CVS had made such accommodations for years prior but recently changed their policy. It appears that it was something that CVS was willing to put up with until recently.
