A federal appeals court ruled Monday that former government employees who refused the Covid-19 vaccine because of concerns over the use of fetal stem cells during development can pursue a religious discrimination lawsuit against San Francisco.
The Ninth Circuit overruled a Northern District of California court decision to deny accommodations for city employees seeking religious exemption from a 2021 mandate that all 35,000 city and county of San Francisco employees must receive a Covid-19 vaccination.
According to a suit first filed in March 2022, Selina Keene, Melody Fountila, and Mark McClure had all been employees of the city and county of San Francisco but were forced to take leave from their positions when the city denied their requests for religious exemption from the mandate.

As has been widely reported, COVID vaccines do not, in fact, contain fetal cells.
The above-cited lawsuit was filed by the Pacific Justice Institute, who last appeared here in May 2022 when they sued to block the US Census from asking any LGBTQ-related questions.
The group first appeared on JMG in 2010 when they sued then-California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in an attempt to force him to defend Proposition 8 in federal court.
In 2012, they attempted to force a California state referendum that would have banned mentioning LGBTQ figures in history lessons.
Also in 2012, they attempted to sanction DOJ attorneys for opposing the Defense of Marriage Act.
The group has repeatedly sued to overturn state bans on ex-gay torture, claiming that 80% of ex-gay “conversions” are successful.
In 2019 they sued California to end sexual education and HIV prevention instructions in public schools.
