Thanks for the analysis. I believe forcing Catholic or any other Dr/nurse to perform abortions in violation of their religious beliefs violates the 1st Amend freedom of religion. Gov’t cannot force a Jew or Muslim to eat a ham sandwich.

I think it also violates the same "privacy rights" supposedly upheld in the Roe and Casey decisions -- specifically, the right of a doctor to opt out of abortion, the right of a pro-life patient to be able to choose to receive medical services from a pro-life doctor, and the right of both pro-life doctors and patients to come to their own conclusions about when human life begins, and to act on those conclusions.

IOW, the "Freedom of Choice Act" is very anti-choice, and very pro-abortion.
