No professional baker is forced to be a professional baker. Just so, no professional baker has the right to violate the law in the process of practicing that profession. If that professional baker wants to be a professional baker, there are certain rules that baker must follow. If he does not wish to follow those rules, he is free to choose a profession in which he does not have to make a compromise with his deeply-felt hatreds.
