So how about that town clerk?

The county needs to move her laterally or she can leave. This is a hot button issue but I am more than certain there are other duties as a clerk that would more than likely be objectionable to her faith.

Issuing occupancy to an abortion clinic? Filing paperwork for any other number of things would be equally objectionable under true Christian beliefs. She is just being a frigging zealot

"she doesn't have to work in a position that requires her to perform duties that are objectionable to her faith".

Correct, she doesn't have to take that job. But if she chooses to take that job, her employer (in this case, the state) cannot require that she abandon her religious beliefs when she's on the clock.

"She is just being a frigging zealot"

Maybe. But guess what? She has that right. Or at least, she used to, until this administration came along.
