"Manion argued that forcing pharmacists to fill prescriptions they believe violate their religious principles not only places those pharmacists in a moral dilemma but also violates the so-called conscience clause that allows those in the medical field to avoid performing procedures, most notably abortion, that they find reprehensible"



A very good point here. Nurses and doctors do not have to participate in a procedure that violates their personal religious convictions such as abortion.

So a doctor could get a job in an abortion mill and then refuse to perform abortions, without risk of getting fired?
