Let’s see, is it is alright to deprive a pharmacist of his livelihood because he refuses to dispense a “morning after” pill which his religion believes is murder? He only invested years of his life and thousands of dollars earning his degree. Now the rules change, and it’s OK for the state to deprive him of his livelihood? I think not.

Likewise, this clerk, when hired could never have contemplated this condition on her employment. Sorry, no sale. I can see a requirement for new hires. I can’t see changing the rules mid-game.

So here’s my counter proposal. Buy her out. Vest her fully in whatever retirement she would have earned, and pay her until retirement age. Since we can’t make reasonable accommodations, let’s be unreasonable at the taxpayer’s expense.
