Prohibition on leavened bread during Passover

Israeli religious fanatics have imposed by law a prohibition on bringing leavened bread into hospitals during Passover.

Religious fanatics seek above all to impose their religion's obsessions on everyone. The amount of trouble those obsessions cause varies greatly. Banning bread for a week is rather mild as these things go. Shutting down public transport on Saturday, which the same group achieved some decades ago, is worse, but still minor compared to the ban on abortion that some Christian and Muslim fanatics impose.

However, giving religious believers the power to impose their obsessions on everyone is harmful in itself, independent of the specific obsessions they choose.
