This is such a difficult issue, IMO. On one hand, it's not right to tell women they can't wear a symbol of their religion. It violates the principles of religious freedoms. But on the other hand, if you don't ban them, then many women will be forced to wear them by their families and communities.

Either way some women's freedom is taken away.

Edit: If I were a legislator and had to make the choice, I guess I would err on the side of libertarianism and refuse to ban the burqa. Even if women are being forced to wear it, they ARE still adults and can make their own decisions. I don't like morality legislation in most cases.
