Burqa is associated with oppression and rightly so, most people are against this oppression, but I won't deny that there are many bigots too who are just out to bully the minorities.
Regarding the "choice" of wearing burqa, most muslim women are brainwashed from childhood to make them believe that wearing the burqa is by their own choice and a part of their identity. People will often fight tooth and nails against anything they perceive as a threat to their identity, so giving them the choice cannot be done through any law or legal means, rather the only way for them to truly recognize their rights is through proper education.
