This smacks of the majority imposing their wills and norms on a minority under the guise of protecting the minority.
With respect to the pregnancy and abortion argument, I think it's distinguishable since the state has a vested interest in the fetus as an individual--indeed IIRC the concept is that The state's interest protecting the fetus as an individual (under a police power protection of person's safety concept) congeals after the 3rd trimester, hence overruling a woman's right to self autonomy.
Here, what is the state's interest in denying Burkhas?
