Nurse Claims Discrimination After Refusal To Dispense Morning-After Pill

The Associated Press today reports on another law suit over the right of medical personnel to refuse to dispense contraceptives. A former nurse has sued Eastern Illinois University claiming she was denied a promotion because she would not dispense morning-after pills. The nurse, represented by the American Center for Law and Justice, claims her religious freedom and equal protection rights and her rights under federal anti-discrimination laws were violated. The University said that its personnel decision was made for other reasons.
