I have to drive 30 minutes to buy clothes or a new car. I don't feel particularly oppressed.

Those who try to remove the control of goods and services offered by businesses from the business owner aren't trying to "impose their beliefs on other people"?
And the comparison to abortion doctors seems faulty. I'm pretty sure that most prescriptions filled are for medicines other than birth control, which means that even an anti-birth control pharmacist could still fill most of the prescriptions handed to him/her. I'm not familiar with how abortion clinics are run, but I don't see how an abortion provider who refuses to provide abortions would be able to perform his/her job in any capacity.

The owner of a private business has every right to choose which goods and services he/she will offer. Potential customers don't have a right to convenient shopping.
