New Laws To Protect Healthcare Workers' Personal Beliefs

Where will this end? First, pharmacists don't have to fill prescriptions for the pill. What next? "You are an alcoholic, so I refuse to treat you", "You are gay, so I refuse to treat you", "You are fat and commit the sin of gluttony, so I won't treat you". "You are a smoker and treat the body God gave you poorly, so I won't treat you". This is insanity. And it started with Bush's focus on faith based initiatives. He has turned this country into a religious hot zone and now even doctors, who used to treat anyone who needed treatment, feel that they can pick and choose, cause you know, how horrible to offend them.
