Michigan lesbian couple says pediatrician denied baby care due to sexual orientation

Re: Bigotry is well and alive even among doctors.

NO! That's not relevant to the OP!!! You've been told that...because even when the parallels were plainly written out and color-coded (upon request)...they werent true! /sarcasm

You're still carrying on because I don't equate Rosa Parks with this baby? I didn't realize I upset you this much. I am sorry for doing that. Will it make you feel better if I declare this baby story the Rosa Parks for 2015 story?
 
Re: Bigotry is well and alive even among doctors.

There's no harm in those losses. it may be a little 'less'. But I dont hear men complaining that they arent enjoying sex.

You obviously haven't heard about those men that have had it reconstructed or the majority of men that had it removed later in life.

Hey, did you ever tell me how much we need our appendix...what harm it does removing that?

LOLOLOLOL Please, I know I've embarrassed you several times in the past but this one isnt going to get you the satisfaction that you seek.

So are you not going to answer my question? Are you saying you wouldn't mind your clitoral hood removed? Btw, there is two other parts that assist in lubricating the clitoris. Please, tell me what they are.
 
Re: Michigan lesbian couple says pediatrician denied baby care due to sexual orientat

Oh and Lursa, tell me what the appendix does. This should be fun.
 
Re: Bigotry is well and alive even among doctors.

Lol. No harm done other the harms and loss of functions I listed? Tell me, how many parts of the vagina keep the clitoris lubricated? Now, tell me what those parts are called. I'll wait.

Not interested. This is a sad sad far tangential goose chase you are using to try and try and gain some self-respect. Sorry, I cant help ya there!
 
Re: Michigan lesbian couple says pediatrician denied baby care due to sexual orientat

Oh, and 75% less is not a little.

Did it sound like it was referring to you?

Hmm.
 
Re: Bigotry is well and alive even among doctors.

Sure, when you tell me how harmful it is to remove the appendix...after all, you did say that we wouldnt have any unneeded body parts...right?

Hardly.

What does the appendix do Lursa? You might not be aware of this, but the days of it being seen as useless and extra have been over for some time now.

Is that a rhetorical question?

I already said it:

She wasn't being treated equally. She was being ordered to move to a section of the bus against her wishes.

This family wasn't being treated equally.
 
Re: Michigan lesbian couple says pediatrician denied baby care due to sexual orientat

To be quite honest this did surprise me. For some reason I thought that educated people can and would rise above such blatant bigotry, but I guess that low life imbeciles exist in every walk of life.
This doctor refused to treat an infant because the parents are gay.

What type of doctor 'develops a relationship' with the parents (etc)?

I've taken my kids to the same team of doctors for years and outside of checkups and sick-visits there's no 'relationship'. We see whomever's on call. So I don't even get the 'issue' here - claiming it matters, it's just odd.
 
Re: Bigotry is well and alive even among doctors.

I'm not a lawyer, and my opinion of the law isn't relevant to this story. This is the same reason I don't wander into the abortion section. Hypotheticals and emotion take over and there is no more rational posting.

Nobody was harmed here. Nobody was hurt. I don't agree with the doctor's beliefs but I also don't agree with those of you who are demanding that she put her beliefs aside for no particular reason other than "what if?".

Yes, actually it is relevant. You keep talking about "no harm" being done. That indicates that you believe that harm must be done for laws to cover something. Then do you or do you not agree with public accommodation laws that prevent doctors from denying service to people due to their race, sex, religion, etc? That is absolutely relevant because the situations would be the same except the class being used to deny service, one is protected, the other isn't, by the law.

The child was treated by a qualified physician. No harm don.
 
Re: Bigotry is well and alive even among doctors.

Should have her license revoked... there is only one rule for doctors.. the Hippocratic oath
And no harm was don.
 
Re: Bigotry is well and alive even among doctors.

You know very well what I mean. The child needed care and refusing care is a fundamental break of any doctors oath or position.
The child received care by a qualified physician.
 
Re: Bigotry is well and alive even among doctors.

yeah, eventually they did. And rosa parks could've "known her place" on the back of the bus. No problem right? I mean, she did get on the bus

Such discrimination harms the children of gay couples, just from knowing they are 2nd class, not to mention there is no justifiable reason for them to be inconvenienced even in the slightest, just because the parents are gay

You seem to care more about trivializing the disgusting behavior of this "doctor"
Gays were never slaves. Time to get over it already.

And this family, the mothers and their baby are not being treated equally, being told that this woman will not provide them medical care due to their relationship, no different than if she was turning away a mixed baby because she doesn't approve of their relationships. Is the mixed race couple harmed or not by such refusal?
 
Re: Bigotry is well and alive even among doctors.

Have you ever taken the oath or have you at least seen anyone do so? Of course not. How would you feel if you were denied treatment? Where would you draw the line?
The child was not denied treatment. The child received treatment from a qualified physician and at the same appointment. Treatment wasn't even delayed.
 
Re: Bigotry is well and alive even among doctors.

These are the functions of the foreskin.

Functions:

to cover and bond with the synechia so as to permit the development of the mucosal surface of the glans and inner foreskin.
to protect the glans penis from friction and abrasion throughout life.
to keep the glans moisturized and soft with emollient oils.
to lubricate the glans.
to coat the glans with a waxy protective substance.
to provide sufficient skin to cover an erection by unfolding.
to provide an aid to masturbation and foreplay.
to serve as an aid to penetration.
to reduce friction and chafing during intercourse.
to serve as erogenous tissue because of its rich supply of erogenous receptors.
to contact and stimulate the G-spot of the female partner
The foreskin/glans combination produce a powerful anti mmicrobial compound called Langerin that keeps the area clean and disease free
Provides a lubricating function that assists in sexual intercourse.

Damages when removed besides the loss of the prior functions:

Neural and vascular damage to the penis.
50-75% loss of sexual sensitivity.
Less intense orgasms
removes 75% of the sexually sensitive tissue of the penis
By the time the individual reaches their late 30's and early 40's the glans becomes dried out and calloused over with scar tissue from rubbing on clothes and other material the individuals entire life.
Can cause inability to ejaculate( extremely rare)
Lubrication

Your ignorance on this subject is still embarrassing.

I thought the child was a girl, what does foreskin have to do with a change in her pediatrician?

My brother can tell you it is a lot more harmful for it to burst on you than it would be to simply have it removed. He almost died from his, a couple of times.

It was a side topic that came up in the thread at some point.
