It is not religious discrimination at all, and political discrimination is not illegal, so there isn't a legal issue with any of the scenarios you mentioned.

That's wrong. Political discrimination is illegal in certain states like California.

If someone's views on abortion are strongly dictated by their religious beliefs then I think it could be argued that it is religious discrimination. At the very least I could see it going to trial.
