Well Justice Breyer, if you accept the idea of ANY limitations to government power based on religious objections AT ALL, then the most basic application of that limitation would of necessity be not being able to force people to take part in the killing of little babies.
It just doesn't get more basic than that. So really, you're not saying you can't find a limit - you're saying you don't want to accept that ANY limit CAN exist.
Which, of course, is the position of a slave owner.
It’s always been a wink and nudge. It relies on generally good folks being a majority. Some religious practices and beliefs good folks can’t tolerate, but how do you quantify it? So they didn’t, or couldn’t. If only 50-60% of people actually vote who are able to in the best most democratic nation that has ever existed that we know of, and the legal murder of unborn people has been legal for 40+ years, are the majority good folks?

Exactly. Czech dissident and later President Vaclav Havel wrote extensively on this subject. And of course he was criticizing a communist regime ... we are becoming no better.
