A lawyer defending a Virginia restaurant company being sued by a former employee denies that the employee was given the ultimatum of either aborting her child or losing her job.

Keith Finch, an attorney representing Junior Corp, the company that owns Mi Puerto, told The Christian Post that the allegation over Shomo being told she had to have an abortion to continue working at the Mexican restaurant is “false.”
