Nurse fired over ‘morning-after’ pill wins case
A federal jury ordered a Riverside County public health clinic to pay $47,000 to a nurse who was fired for refusing to dispense ”morning-after” contraceptives. The nurse, Michelle Diaz, said that dispensing the pills would violate her religious beliefs. The jury found that the clinic had violated her civil rights.
The ACLJ can be a bit reactionary at times, but they have this right.
Religious
Freedom of Speech Petition
“Churches and Christian organizations should be free to take strong positions

religious organization. ”

Schools demand ‘biblical right to smack children’
Private Christian schools must be allowed to smack pupils with parents’ consent, the Court of Appeal has heard. Forty schools, spearheaded by the Christian Fellowship School in Liverpool, want a change in the law to allow them to use corporal punishment. Their attempt to challenge legislation banning smacking in schools by claiming it did not apply to independents was rejected by the High Court last year. They claim it is part of a religious doctrine protected by the European Convention on Human Rights.
