Internet crush!

If it is a belief generally held by those in the religion, then I would wager yes as long as it is a government job. The central tenet here is that the government not infringe on one's rights. If you were for a private company, then can fire you for not showing up to work on religious holidays. However, you would…

I just finished a Reproductive Rights and Justice class this semester. (Love being a 3L and taking electives that are of my interest!) I don't have my notes or syllabus in front of me at the moment, but the gist of the case was that a private fertility clinic did not have to provide fertility services to a…

The courts do not question whether someone's belief is sincerely held. We respect the exercise of religion and to conduct a "purity test" would be unreasonable.

Who is cramming beliefs down anyone's throat? They are refusing to participate. Is it fair to cram our beliefs down the nurses' throats and say, "screw your religion, you must participate!"?

That's the catch though, they are "willingly participating." We are discussing people who are not willing and whether we would force them to do something against their religious beliefs.

But there is no constitutional right to treatment. We are not working in a world of morals and ethics, but the world of law. We have to consider what the law recognizes and that which is does not. The law recognizes privacy and religion and at no point does it endorse ranking any right above another.

The problem is one of valuation. Is the right to privacy (abortion) greater than the right to exercise freedom of religion? The courts have wrestled with this for decades. They have already decided that if it is against your religion, then you do not have to assist in an abortion procedure. It's not a far stretch…

I'm not a crier, but oh my goodness if that doesn't melt your heart. Makes me want to run home and cuddle with my rescue (and thankfully not lab) pup.

As a current 3L, I appreciate these recommendations. I have colleagues who wear short skits, 4 inch heels, too tight button downs, etc. I'm all for fashion choice, but it is not work appropriate. Unfortunately, it looks bad for all of us.

Gah! This just makes me angry. There is no "chicken and the egg" problem. We have known for years that thyroid issues mimic depression. Standard protocol when someone presents as depressed is to ask for a full medical history and to check if they experience any thyroid problems. And this is from a psychologist…

Just going to echo everyone else and use my own situation as an example. If you want to stay in the apartment, explain that to her and together go to your landlord to get her off the lease. If you have no interest in staying, ask if she wants it and same course of action.

Thank you for this! Problems must be present before age 7. You don't spontaneously develop ADHD when you're an adult.

I'm not sure where you live, but I would recommend googling community mental health clinics. They often charge based on income and have a psychiatrist who sees clients on the cheap. The biggest issue will be whether or not they believe you. The assessments for ADHD are thousands of dollars and there is no reliable…

Phil is Adrienne's brother.

1% of the population is supposedly psychopathic. 8% in mental health settings. And something like 15% in a jail setting.

Thank you for being more articulate than I could every be. I've read too many comments bashing our religion. I can't even put the sentences together to really show my appreciation for you and your comment because of my anger.

No University of Miami? Our boosters pay for abortions!
