Traditional claims have included objections to compulsory military draft and to the provision of abortions. Contemporary claims include objections to anti-discrimination law by providers of public services, such as bakers and B\u0026amp;B hoteliers, who do not want to serve same-sex couples. The book investigates the practice, both traditional and contemporary, from three distinct perspectives: theoretical, doctrinal (with special emphasis on UK, Canadian and US law) and comparative. Cumulatively, the contributors provide a comprehensive set of reflections on how the practice is to be viewed and carried out in the context of a liberal state.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781509946211\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Hart Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":40816782835918,"sku":"9781509946211","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/getimage_c9f90d48-6061-4f18-8085-f048969075ef.jpg?v=1642842364","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781509946211","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
