First, not all claims of conscience satisfy examination. Second, even if they do, some of them may be disallowed on the basis of compelling state interest. But the whole idea is to ask yourself if it's worth coercive measures, not to dismiss conscience claims without examination. That is what I am objecting to, using the idea that he could have done something else as a way of dismissing the fundamental claim that there is no reason one way or another to behave coercively in that situation...........
