Many people have a mistaken idea of what freedom and conscience mean. President Obama has given us what he calls “a robust conscience clause” in his
HHS Mandate.

Similarly consider what the Mexican Government was saying in 1920’s.
From this Catholic website below I quote
catholicism.org/he-died-in-his-armor-padre-francesco-vera.html
Emilio Portes Gil was appointed president in 1928 by his vicious anti-Catholic predecessor, Plutarco Calles, who had Padre Pro executed. Gil was a mere puppet of Calles and did what his boss told him to do. Calles started out as a Communist and, after accumulating a vast fortune by favoring and bribing rich capitalist Masons, he turned anti-communist, but never ceased to be a bloody persecutor of the Church. A descendant of Sephardic Spanish Jews on his father’s side, Calles was an avowed atheist, a Freemason under the thumb of the Scottish Rite, and a prohibitionist. He preferred to drink the blood of Catholics than a glass of wine. He died in 1948.
Here is that quote from president Gil’s speech, which I translated from the Spanish:
“The Struggle is not just beginning; the struggle is eternal. The struggle was initiated twenty centuries ago. With luck, then we must not be frightened: what we should do is remain in our new post, not fall into the vise in which the previous governors fell…that tolerance after tolerance, and contemplation after contemplation the absolute repeal of our laws was accomplished. What has to be done, then, is to remain vigilant. The public government officials and the public functionaries, zealous to accomplish the law, must be forced to see that it is done. And while I am in the government, before all Masonry I protest that I will be zealous that the laws of Mexico, the constitutional laws that guarantee freedom of conscience, and that the ministers of religion submit to a determined regimen; I protest, I say, before Masonry that while I am in the government I will comply strictly with the legislation.”
