Fine, I can go along with that, even if I disagree with abortions as a method of birth control. However, WE do not have the right to refuse to perform an abortion, because of moral, religious or whatever reasons? That's absolute hypocrisy, though I'm sure that some "enlightened" folks will have other names for it.

BUT an employer cannot ask an applicant for a position about their personal beliefs (one of the 7 protected classes). This is going to cause many problems. Will an employer be able to fire someone for not performing their job if it coincides with this law? If not I see a ton of Pro-life nurses and front office personnel applying for jobs at abortion clinics and refusing to do their job.
