RMN stands in solidarity with women and families against corporations who discriminate against them. Saying that an employer’s religious views can dictate what type of healthcare services a woman can receive as a benefit of her employment is unjust.The #UMC Book of Discipline correctly calls upon us to avoid discrimination in any semblance. Discrimination in the workplace is wrong if it is oppressing women, LGBTQ people, or anyone.
