You cannot sue for not being given a job, you didn't want to do in the first place. This isn't an unsuccessful candidate bitching about discrimination or some shit, an employer looking to hire is required to respect your choices. If you say you're unsuitable for the job, then by your own omission, you're unsuitable for the job.
You cannot even place a complaint for that, because its not a legitimate ground for raising a grievance.
This should be thrown (and laughed) out of court.
It's illegal in Florida to require someone to take part in an abortion, and since because the woman in question believes that birth control causes abortions, somehow that makes the family planning clinic in breach of the law, rather than the woman just being fucking wrong. That's why I brought up the Hobby Lobby decision, as this is just another case where the religious right thinks that its factually incorrect ideological beliefs should be given more legal weight than actual, verifiable facts.
Indeed - it is illegal in FLorida to require someone to take part in an abortion - but that does not mean that a person has to be hired based on that exemption. She was given the chance to respond to the requirements of the job in question - and SHE chose to opt out.
