I'm a lawyer. I advocate on behalf of my clients. If my client believes X, then for the purpose of my representation, I believe (and advocate for) X. Even if I personally believe Y.
And if your job of 20+ years, all of a sudden, forces you to violate your own conscience, then THEY (the employer) should make accommodations for you, NOT the other way around. If they refuse to accommodate, then they are violating your religious rights!
That, I agree with. They should have accomodated.

Ok- you have taken a PERSONAL stand on the issue- however, even lawyers are free to decline a case based on their belief, or involvement that might affect the case one way or the other- infact, a biased lawyer is required to recuse themselves from a case when it is clear they can not objectively defend their client- No?
