Casey Mattox: Vanderbilt Rescinds Supposedly Non-Existent Policy, Protects Conscience!

By ADF Alliance Alert

ADF attorney Casey Mattox writes at Speak Up Movement: "Sadly, my experience is that Vanderbilt?s requirement was not one of a kind. And taking Vanderbilt at its word, that it truly does protect the conscience rights of its employees, Vanderbilt may now even be ahead of the game. Despite decades-old federal statutes specifically on point, I am aware of other universities, receiving millions of dollars in taxpayer funds that have sought to coerce students or employees into participating in abortions. Unsurprisingly, the University of Wisconsin was among them until ADF intervened. If you are a medical or nursing student who has experienced any pressure or coercion of any kind to assist with abortion procedures in violation of your conscience, please let us know."
