(LIFE NEWS) – A former CVS Pharmacy nurse accused the company of religious discrimination this month after she said she was fired for refusing to fill prescriptions for contraception that may cause abortions.
Christianity Daily reports nurse practitioner Robyn Strader, of Fort Worth, Texas, and her lawyers at First Liberty Institute filed a formal complaint against CVS with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, pointing to federal laws that protect the conscience rights of pro-life medical workers.
“I believe that all human life is created in God’s image and should be protected,” Strader said in the complaint. “For this reason, I cannot participate in facilitating an abortion or participate in facilitating contraceptive use that could prevent the implantation of an embryo, cause an abortion or contribute to infertility.”
