Morally objectionable work

edwardpig;

While various state legislatures are considering legislation which would explicitly support a pharmacist's right to refuse to fill prescriptions to which s/he has a moral objection, here are other possible conscience clauses for them to consider:

* The right of Catholic waiters/waitresses to refuse to serve meat on Fridays.
* The right of Jewish waiters/waitresses to refuse to serve pork or cheeseburgers.
* The right of Jewish supermarket workers to refuse to restock or sell pork products.
* The right of Hindu waiters/waitresses to refuse to serve meat or alcohol.
* The right of Hindu supermarket workers to refuse to restock or sell meat or alcohol.
* The right of vegan waiters/waitresses and supermarket workers to refuse to restock or sell any animal products of any kind.
