Christian Concern for Our Nation (CCFON):
The Alliance Defense Fund (ADF), a US legal alliance of Christian attorneys, filed the lawsuit against Mount Sinai Hospital on behalf of Mrs Cenzon-DeCarlo, who is still working there. They are also requesting a preliminary injunction that would order the hospital to honour her religious objection against assisting in abortion and refrain from retaliation against her while the case moves forward. . . .
[Matt Bowman said]: “Pro-life nurses shouldn’t be forced to assist in abortions against their beliefs. 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.”
“Mrs Cenzon-DeCarlo believes lots of nurses and doctors throughout the US are being pressured to assist abortion, and I want them to know they are not alone, and they should speak up for their rights of conscience.”
