NJ hospital threatens employment discrimination against pro-life nurses despite court order

Flagrant actions of hospital force ADF attorneys back to court

NEWARK, N.J. — Alliance Defense Fund attorneys representing 12 pro-life nurses filed a motion for an emergency court order Friday against the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. In violation of an existing court order, UMDNJ is attempting to force the nurses into meetings that would impose discriminatory job “transfer” and other “changes” to their employment solely because of their objections to helping with abortions.
