Actually, sky, I'd say that's equally not the issue: the issue is about whether we use the state to coerce someone to behave the way we want, even when the grounds for that want is something truly trivial, like the fact that _you_ aren't comfortable not seeing _her_ face.

The fact that doing this will set back the integration of these women into our society, when we ostensibly argue that this is why we're banning their being in public, that's just gravy....
