"He repeatedly proclaims that I don't have the natural right to refuse forced servitude from the state and that if the state decides I must do something unconscionable to another person, I have no natural right to object..." I have never said those things. I said you had the right to be free and that you enjoyed legal protection against any form of enslavement. And I said you must supply goods and services to another person without racial or gender prejudice regardless of your personal opinion. The law requires it in order that the rights and freedoms of all may be preserved in a civilized manner. You also have the right to go to jail as a matter of conscience rather than conform your actions to the values and standards and "conscience" of society as reflected in her laws. So you always have freedom of conscience. But there are consequences when your "conscience" runs afoul of social law and protection of rights and freedoms.
