I absolutely agree with your stance that her opinion's compromise Wax's ability to do her job on a fundamental level. She should go. Not a Free-Speech issue. A do your job issue.
But I still think the comparison between that and the Obama commencement debacle is apt, because the protesters (the pro-life movement in general) doesn't see the issue of abortion as a legal/policy issue (if they did they'd look at the epidemiology and say "oh wow, abortions per capita decreased under Obama, he's doing something right!).

(I do not agree). I don't think this is dissimilar to progressive, anti-racist concept of fight racism everywhere on every front.
