IMO she saw an opportunity to make a mountain out of a mole hill and took it.

That's par for course when it comes to pro-life zealotry.
And you think she wasn't discriminated against?

I have no problem with the company reviewing if the fliers violated company policy and stating that it didn't.
I bet if she had contacted corporate with her complaint they would have remedied it the same. It seems her first choice was to get a lawyer and contact the media.
In the past I have had problems with lower management at companies, but they have always been solved by contacting corporate and it never needed to go any further.

On August 20, Maria Goldstein placed her order for printing at the Office Depot in Schaumburg, Illinois. The item to be printed was a flyer that stated several statistics from Planned Parenthood’s 2013-2014 annual report, mentioned the abortion company’s harvesting of fetal body parts, and included a prayer for the conversion of Planned Parenthood.
Goldstein was told by an Office Depot employee that the printing of her flyer was “restricted by corporate policy” and that her order would not be filled.
Goldstein contacted the Office of the Chairman multiple times to discuss the company’s refusal to fill her order. Diane Demma from the Office of the Chairman stood up for the Office Depot employees’ refusal to print Ms. Goldstein’s flyer and offered no other alternatives.

Upon a more detailed review, we have determined that the content of Ms. Goldstein’s flyer is not a clear violation of the company’s policy.

I particularly dislike the flyers about "free" security systems and those satellite TV ones.
Ms. Goldstein forwarded a copy of the flyer to her attention. Ms. Demma called her
back later in the day, and told her that "if it makes employees feel uncomfortable they don't have to
print something." She also stated that they are "working on a policy" for situations like this. No
satisfaction was offered to Ms. Goldstein for the refusal of service link
