Stephanie Carter, a nurse practitioner at the Olin E. Teague Veterans’ Center in Temple, Texas, has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for not allowing her a religious accommodation to opt out of participating in the agency's new federally funded abortion plan, citing the Religious Freedom Restoration Act which requires the federal government to accommodate religious objections.
Colorado is one of a handful of states trying to set itself up as an abortion destination, adopting just weeks ago a law that appears to guarantee access to unrestricted abortion up to and after birth no matter what the U.S. Supreme Court rules in its coming decision on Roe v. Wade.
