ADF Legal Counsel Matt Bowman talked with LifeNews.com about the case.
“Pro-life nurses shouldn’t be forced to assist in abortions against their beliefs,” he said. “Requiring a devout, Catholic nurse to participate in a late-term abortion in order to remain employed is illegal, unethical, and violates her rights of conscience.”
“Federal law requires that employers who receive funding from tax dollars must not compel employees to violate their sincerely held religious beliefs, but this nurse’s objections fell on deaf ears,” Bowman added.
“Chasing away workers from the health care field is disastrous health care policy,” Bowman continued. “An individual’s conscience is likely what brought them to the health care field. Denying or coercing their conscience will likely drive them right out.”
