What if your boss treated gay employees differently because his church preaches that homosexuality is wrong? What if he could refuse to cover your kid’s measles vaccination because he believes the shots cause autism, or AIDS treatments because he thinks the disease is God’s revenge for sinful behavior?

Unsurprisingly, the issue boils down to controversy over a woman’s right to choose.
