Can a crisis pregnancy center require post abortion counseling as a condition of employment?

Answer:
As long as it is related to job performance, an employer policy which isn't discriminatory on the grounds of age, race, gender, nationality, handicap, or religion, and isn't prevented by a union or employment contract, will generally be upheld. Wrongful discharge claims are often made on the basis of discrimination against a protected classification. If an employee isn’t protected by an employment or union contract, they are typically at-will employees who may be fired for any or no reason without notice.
If a contract, such as a collective bargaining agreement applies, employees may be required to be given an option for whether to undergo such counseling or not. Such contracts may also specify the terms of procedures upon refusal by the employee.
