“She was no forced. They did not physically force her to participate. She was given an implied or explicit choice. She could have given up her job. If she believes strongly enough to sue then she should have sacrificed her job rather than be part of taking a life.”

Economic coercion can be as forceful as physical coercion. Her choice would have been the equivalent of saying you can keep both your hands and do the abortion or lose one. She probably would not have lost just her job but her career as well. That is pretty rough.

You are right and it is criminal that she was put in this position. I do not understand how any court could rule that she had no standing. Her religious stance was well known, if the hospital had a problem with it they should have told her so long ago. She was ambushed, pure and simple.

There is not a grey area here. You either go along with it or you don’t. If it is a requirement of your job then you should not be in that job. If it means welfare and losing your house, so be it. She was not forced. Inducement is not an excuse.

Coercion is coercion. You don't have to actually beat someone into submission to coerce them.

If you'd like I'd be happy to demonstrate the point with you as the person being coerced.

First, sign a release.

We are in a state of war with the leftist vermin. Either they go or we do.
