Unless she can prove that the job description gives her the right to arbitrarily withold her signature because an applicant is homosexual, or black, or has only one eye, or walks funny, she ought to get herself into another line of work that doesn't offend her moral sensibilities.

Absolutely correct, dayglored!

Actually, in her shoes, I'd refuse my signature - and then tender my resignation. I think that that would be the only consistent action possible.

Well, yes, except for the course of civil disobedience. In this instance, I support her right to object and try to overturn the law which she finds unsupportable.

She'll most likely lose that fight, and lose her job. But I applaud her fortitude in making a show of it, against a huge army.

You know that drawing of the hawk descending upon a mouse, talons out and ready, and the mouse looks up and gives the bird the finger? I think there's a parallel here. Although I'm sure the clerk is too polite a lady to actually give anybody the finger! :)
