Is the "campaign for religious liberty" "ridiculously overplayed"? In the public debate on competing rights, there are loud voices calling for zero tolerance of health workers who refuse to assist in abortions. Whether you agree with abortions or not, the question is whether pro-lifers should be barred from the health professions, trampling their religious freedom and careers so that people who feel they need an abortion won't be delayed or embarrassed.

A similar example: In several provinces of Canada, students have effectively been barred from the legal profession because they wanted to attend a law school (Trinity Western U.) that would discourage sex outside traditional marriage. Again, whether you agree with that morality or not, it is arguably a severe encroachment on religious liberty to deny employment, on the rationale of saving clients from having to check whether a prospective legal representative has harmonious sexual beliefs.
