We have an update in our case involving Gunna Kristofersdottir, a nurse practitioner in Florida who sought a religious accommodation from prescribing contraceptive drugs.
First Liberty and volunteer attorneys at the law firms Boyden Gray and Lawson Huck Gonzalez reached a settlement with CVS Health Corporation and MinuteClinic. After more than a year of litigation, this settlement brings Gunna’s case to a close. Terms of the settlement were not made public.
“We are happy to announce that we were able to reach a resolution,” said Stephanie Taub, Senior Counsel at First Liberty, “Gunna is pleased with the settlement.”
Gunna worked for CVS MinuteClinic in Tequesta, Florida. According to the lawsuit, for about eight years, the company granted her religious accommodation from prescribing contraceptive medications so that she would not have to violate her deeply held convictions and beliefs. On the rare occasion a patient asked for such a prescription, she referred them to another CVS MinuteClinic provider who satisfied the request.
According to the complaint, CVS announced that it was revoking all religious accommodations that allowed providers to refrain from providing pregnancy-prevention services. First Liberty filed a federal lawsuit in January 2024.
Thank you for supporting First Liberty. You’re the driving force behind our work. This is the start of a new chapter in life for Gunna—and you played a big part in making this settlement happen.
