As a self-employed bookkeeper, I refused to take on quite a few clients when I was working full time.
Lots of reasons, but mostly just thought the client was too smarmy in their way of doing business for me to be involved.

The real question is, what is the source of the jurisdiction that presumes the power to deny an American their pre-existing right of conscience - since the First Amendment explicitly acknowledges it?

Abortion is the ultimate sacrament of the liberal faith.

[Maelstorm]

I think this illustrates exactly the crux of the matter. Liberals do not want you to have the ability to opt out on conscience whether it is abortion, teaching kids political propaganda or paying out the ying yang for government programs you don’t believe in. Liberty is the stake in the heart of liberalism. The Popular Sovereignty of a people choosing their own way is exactly what they do not want you to be able to do.

We need laws of conscience protecting the rights of religious people and all citizens to opt out. We need to be careful though. That ability to opt out may in the end provide an argument for the left to push through all kinds of horrible legislative ideas with the argument but “this doesn’t apply to you so why do you care”.

Another legislator was quoted as saying, "It is puzzling to me, why we would allow some to discriminate and others not."

Hmmm…

Because the First Amendment says we can and you can’t stop us.

Is the United States teetering on the edge of totalitarianism? No.

I wonder what the bases is for his judgment.

In my judgment we are.

I wonder if they snort and scoff at doctors who say they wouldn’t do a lethal injection for a convicted murderer.
