Nobody wants to be an absolutist about it, but such coercion can certainly be overdone.
Forcing medical professionals or institutions to perform procedures that violate conscience is overdoing it.
And in that regard abortion is not the only issue.

How much worse would things get in this regard if we had outright socialized medicine like the NHS of the Brits?
A lot worse.
Even handing over the entire health insurance market to a single federal government run insurer would significantly diminish this liberty.
And would subject provision of medical services to rationing on the basis of invidious comparisons of the worth of individual lives, and subject R&D to state-sponsored judgments of value, morality, and justice.
I am a Democrat and a progressive, but not an anti-capitalist and not at all a PC authoritarian.
