And in my opinion, every person has the right to refuse to be involved in anything that they are not comfortable being involved in. As I said, had he grabbed a drink out of her hand - that would be imposing his morals. Refusing to PROVIDE her with a drink is simply refusing to compromise his own morals.

Whether or not his boss would / should / must fire him for his actions is completely irrelevant to that fact. It's his choice to do what he wants with his mind and body: he didnt want to pour her the drink so he absolutely did not have to. Risking his job is his decision to make.
His moral stance (which he is entitled to hold, but not enforce) is irrelevant. If his morals are that important to him, then he shouldn't be working in a place where those things can cross paths.

Doctors have to stand by constantly and let people kill themselves because of the wishes of individual patients, and sometimes because of ridiculous reasons like the blood transfusion issues with Jehovah's witnesses. These are people that dedicate their lives to the oath they make. Yet their moral stances don't overrule the wishes of the individual.

He absolutely has every right to feel uncomfortable about serving a pregnant woman, he has absolutely no right to act upon that.
