> Thinking gay marriage shouldn't be legal is not "conservative", it's plain discriminating
While I certainly agree it shouldn't be illegal, there is a long history of religious opposition to this that I don't think it's so simple to hand wave away. Just because we feel strongly that we are obviously in the right, doesn't absolve us from understanding why someone might feel a certain way.
> Denying abortions to others is a bit muddier
This one goes beyond muddy into clear political territory. For every one person you find that sees pro-life as "denying abortions" you'll find someone who see it as "denying murder". Pushing this debate into the workplace seems beyond a bad idea.
> I don't know much about ACA
As someone who's premiums more than doubled after the ACA, I think it's fair to say its value is debatable and no one should be fired for sitting on either side of that debate.
> forcing your own, not universally accepted moral code on others isn't exactly the nicest thing to do after all.
Everyone feels they are living to their own moral code. There is no universally accepted standard, but firing/shaming/blacklisting people for their beliefs is wrong (according to my own moral code).
