Religious exception
Exactly.
And any Christian can use the abortion angle.
Much to do about nuttin.
The US Supreme Court ruled (twice) that the Little Sisters of the Poor could not be compelled to pay for abortions as part of their health care plan and state officials (in Florida) forced them back to court. Even after Trump obtained legal protection for the Little Sisters in 2018, several states sued to challenge the exemptions for the nuns.
To have a religious exemption, you first and foremost have to live in a country that gives any credence to religion. (If you live here in the United States, then you don't live in such a country.)
Is it possible that a religious exemption may be granted? Perhaps. But if history is any guide, it will only be temporary; the political persecution will almost certainly become a religious one.
