Wilson worked for U.S. West Communications. She was also a devout Roman Catholic. She made a vow to the Virgin Mary that she would wear a two-inch diameter picture of an aborted fetus at all times until abortion was outlawed. The button caused much disruption at work. Some employees were very upset by the picture and there was a lot of lost work time due to employees discussing the button. Her supervisor asked her not to wear the button, but she refused. He then asked that she either cover the button with wearing apparel (i.e. sweater) or wear it only when she was in her private cubicle. She refused both of those options. After being home sent home several times as a result of the button, she was fired. She sued U.S. West for religious discrimination. What result and why?
