Are womens only gyms legal? Because they discriminate based on gender.
I think it comes down to whether or not a business can choose who its customers are and should theybe allowed to. In my opinion you shouldnt be allowed to in any circumstance.
However, Doctors are allowed to refuse to perform abortions out of conscience even when in small centers this necessitates people traveling large distances to get a government funded service which is delivered privately.
If the percieved harm to a person who is being asked offer a service which is against his belief is high enough then they should be allowed to refuse the service.
So female only gyms and straight wedding venues do not meet this standard but a doctor refusing to perform an abortion does. I think it is a little less black and white then I would like it to be.
