No I did not. I specifically said no one forces him to be a practitioner of that profession, thereby eliminating the necessity of his dispensing with his moral convictions to keep practicing.
No, no one is forcing him to be a doctor. If the duties of a doctor are against his religious beliefs, then don't be a doctor. Nothing is violated here at all.
Find me a right to practice medicine despite moral objection to practicing medicine in the constitution and you have a point. Otherwise, you are just being liberal in your interpretation of the first amendment and creating rights where there are none.
You stated that the state has the right to deny a person a license to practice, based on that persons religious convictions that prevent them from despesing birth control that violate their moral beliefs.
There's no way you can justify denying a person the right to practice any profession, based on his religious convictions.
