"[Nurse Toni Lemly] is suing a hospital that fired her after she refused to administer the 'morning after' abortion pill [...] Lemly, represented by the non-profit Alliance Defense Fund, says she had informed hospital supervisory staff that she objected to administering the abortion pill because of her sincerely held religious beliefs [...] [ADF attorney Mike] Johnson said Lemly, a nurse of 23 years, 'loves her work, and she does not deserve to be discriminated against because of her religious beliefs.' 'All that she asks of the hospital is to respect her freedom in choosing to not participate in the taking of a human life,' said Johnson."
['Sincerely held religious belief' is the code phrase for "I get to do anything I want and you can't hold me responsible for it." Note also that our choices are either to respect freedom of religion or participate in the taking of human lives.]
