I understand that in the setting of someones own business, but (and correct me if I'm am wrong) Kim Davis was employed by the Government, which is to say she is there to work for the public. Her own religious beliefs should not come into the delivery of her work in a way that impacts those she is there to 'serve'. That is discrimination.

If an NHS nurse refused to perform an abortion because of her religious beliefs, I would question why she became a nurse and would question why she should be employed if it's going to effect the outcome of her patient.
