To those on here that wanted PROOF of Discrimination towards Medical for not going against their beliefs and being punished. And obama has not even reversed it yet!............. Well here it is I assume the first of many! GOOD FOR HER for Standing up.
Shame on the Hospital for firing her from her full time position and giving her part time!



Nurse wins conscience ruling from state Supreme Court
Decision sends complaint about religious discrimination toward trial..

A pro-life nurse has won a victory for the conscience rights of health care providers at the Louisiana state Supreme Court which has sent her complaint over religious discrimination down the path towards a trial.
The case being handled by the Alliance Defense Fund was brought on behalf of nurse Toni Lemly who had worked in the St. Tammany Parish Hospital, but sued when she objected to dispensing the "morning after" abortion pill because of her religious beliefs and was demoted.



The hospital's lawyers sought to have her case dismissed out of hand, and when that attempt failed, went to the state Supreme Court to try to obtain that ruling. The high court, however, issued a single-word ruling on the hospital's demands: "Denied."

"The hospital acted unlawfully when it refused to make a reasonable accommodation for Ms. Lemly and instead terminated her fulltime position," said Brian Arabie, a Lake Charles attorney who is allied with the ADF and is working on the case.

The hospital declined several reasonable suggestions made by Lemly, a nurse for 23 years, that would have enabled the facility to continue administering the pill while allowing her to abstain from dispensing it herself," the ADF report said. "The hospital chose not to act on any of her suggestions."

It's ironic coming into a thread like this from a thread discussing what to do with thousands of poor, unwanted, uneducated children.
But good for her, I guess?

You realize she only won the right to continue pressing her case in court, she hasn't actually won her case against the hospital?

So you take the Hitler approach and destroy them... Is that really logical to you? Just curious...
