text: When it comes to matters of sexual freedom, reproductive rights and gender equality, religion needs to be kept well clear of the law making process.
  I have no problem with religions practicing their rights within a specific framework, ie: if a particular church refuses to marry a same sex couple because it goes against their teachings, that's OK, as long as the couple CAN get married in court and enjoy the same LEGAL benefits as any other married couple; if a christian woman falls pregnant and chooses not to have an abortion, because she is pro-life, fine. However, you cannot deny others the right to make such a choice due to your beliefs (are you listening, ACDP?) and if a muslim woman chooses to wear a burka and not go out in public unaccompanied by a male relative, great. But she should be able to do the opposite too, without falling foul of the law.
  Of course, secular laws should also not be used to discriminate against religions, as France has done with its hijab and burka bans.
