Whatever your views on the issue, it isn't civil disobedience when you actually are the State.
Bitch clearly doesn't understand how this works.

I love how the same people who want other government officials to disobey laws of their choice are now saying she should implement the so-called law anyway. This is the problem with societies. Should the Gestapo have enforced the roundups or should one officer somewhere look the other way and risk jail by violating bad laws? It is insane. If a law is bad, it should be disobeyed, not mindlessly enforced.

I think deep down this is why some liberals do not like Christianity. Christianity teaches that there is a higher law than the government. Governments can pass laws, but they are not the ultimate arbiters of what is right and what is wrong.

You need only open a history book to see all of the atrocities committed by people who were "only following orders" and doing what their government told them to do.

Since she has not been conscripted to her position, practically speaking, it would make more sense for her to just quit the job if it conflicts with her moral standards.

I agree, she could have just stepped down but she obviously wanted to take a stand and be a martyr of sorts. The same way that the gay marriage people descend on businesses and sue to get a cake that is clearly going to have at least one turd mixed into the batter when they are forced to make it. They could go an get a cake in the shape of two dicks crossed like swords in extreme realism by any trendy cake shop...but they want to make a statement.
