Is it impeding? Or is it stating that like other rights, there are limitations to what extent they may be acted upon? After all, the first amendment does not protect sacrificial rituals, even if they are limited to animals sacrifices. That's not impeding upon liberties, it is a ruling that arose so as to protect others from it who do not or can not consent to such a thing. The first amendment also has restrictions like libel, slander and no protections when intentionally using speech to incite violence.
