I can’t look into this woman’s heart like some of the people on this board can. Maybe she’s a fake. Maybe she is truly sorry for past sins. I think if she were to resign her position for conscience sake, that is more than most would do. Most would say, I believe this way but, for the sake of the law, (or for the sake of my job), I must do something against my beliefs. But, she has chosen this path that puts her at odds with an immoral law. And so she must pay the penalty. And if she is willing, what of it? My thought is we have seen this before, in a manner of speaking. I am thinking of Daniel chapter 6 in the Bible, more specifically, where we read of him in the lion’s den. Daniel was a highly placed government official. He wasn’t serving in a theocracy. He was serving in a pagan government. Certain factions in that government were able to get some legislation passed that put Daniel in a rather difficult spot. Suddenly, it was illegal for him to continue as he had in the past. It was illegal for him to pray. Now you may say, but the difference is, blah,blah,blah. The point is, there was a legal/moral conflict. But Daniel deliberately challenged this law. They didn’t threaten to take away his pension or bankrupt him through fines. They didn’t threaten him with confinement for contempt of court. The penalty was to be thrown into a den of lions with the intent that they tear him to pieces. But, those familiar with the story will recall that the lions did not tear him to pieces. And when the king realized this, he let Daniel go and threw Daniel’s enemies in with the lions and they got torn to pieces instead. Sometimes things have a way of backfiring.
