I just watched this little video from the Christian Medical Dental Society . We all have to get along in a diverse society, and forcing people to do things they don’t believe are right isn’t the way to go. Neither does conscientious objection always have to do with with religion. There have been longstanding feminist concerns about the birth control pill, for example.
Since freedom of conscience and religion is enshrined in our constitution, I’m not really clear on how this case can lose, but I’ll leave the prognosticating to the lawyers.

The interesting thing here is that the Baby Boomers – motivated in part by a rejection of the stultifying group-think and conformity of the 50s and early 60s – has created a rigid conformity (aka political correctness) that makes the 1950s and McCarthyism look like the Golden Age of freedom of thought and freedom of conscience.
