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

Re: Bigotry is well and alive even among doctors.

The Hippocratic oath says first do no harm.

If someone stated they felt that they could not adequately do a job, especially if it concerned my family, I would take them at their word and move on.
Your point? How much harm could the doctor do in a check-up? If so should she even practice? How about if it was an emergency and you had no place to move on to?
 
Re: Bigotry is well and alive even among doctors.

Of course you are. The story in as much as you deny it IS about bigotry and discrimination and you seem to be an apologist for it.
At least show enough integrity to own it.

You shouldn't post lies, which is what you did here. My position is clear and always has been. I'm not a thought police crusader, and I don't care about what people think. Just like I didn't care about what people thought when I was an adult and married my husband, I don't care who marries who. I also don't care what other people think about who marries who. There is no being an apologist here. I don't care. And the baby got medical treatment, contrary to the lies posted in this thread that said otherwise.

Feel free to make it a personal crusade to find every person in the country whose views are abhorrent to you and call them out. That isn't my thing. This isn't a big story. Nobody got hurt, and the baby got medical care.
 
Re: Bigotry is well and alive even among doctors.

"not in this case"


read much? :lol:

:2razz:

Actually I do. At least I read the thread title. Something about a lesbian couple, Michigan, and this baby. I missed the agenda part.
 
Re: Bigotry is well and alive even among doctors.

LOL, anytime anyone doesn't agree with the gay agenda. They are a bigot. LOL
Of course not. Disagreement over anything is a good thing, it brings about discussion that analyzes the issue.
Denial of fact, well that is just ignorance and discrimination, that is bigotry. Hope that clears it up for you.
 
Re: Bigotry is well and alive even among doctors.

You shouldn't post lies, which is what you did here.
I did not, but you just did by making an unfounded accusation.

There is no being an apologist here.
Yet here you are dismissing a blatant act of bigotry as a non-story.

And the baby got medical treatment
That is the non-story and irrelevant to the issue.

contrary to the lies posted in this thread that said otherwise.
Care to quote that lie, you know just so this accusation of yours is not the real lie?

You think adults getting their feelings hurt by a total stranger who they never even met is a big story. I don't. And you calling me an "apologist" was a lie.

The lies told in this thread include an early one by chromium that said the "freaking baby didn't get medical care", which he was corrected on by more than one person. You're free to peruse the thread to find others.

It wasn't an emergency. The what ifs don't matter. The doctor stated that she could not give the patient adequate care. She recommended another doctor. Why is that a bad thing.

Do you really want a doctor who does not feel she can do the job? I don't
 
Re: Bigotry is well and alive even among doctors.

I defend a persons right to feel, think and believe what they wish to. Not be forced to.

They still have that right and so do all of us in the US, it wasnt infringed on in anyway LOL
another failed strawman, another posted lie

want proof?
are there laws that refer to equal rights and you cant discriminate based on gender and and race? yes
are ther people that still THINK, FEEL and BELIEVE that woman and minorities are lessers? yes

BUT WAIT, HOW CAN THAT BE??????

oh thats right because that laws dont impact those areas because your post completely made it up.
 
Re: Bigotry is well and alive even among doctors.

Tell me CC does your disdain for the 'gay agenda' go out the window if you see two hot lesbians going at it on cinemax late at night?

It's funny how certain lesbians are regarded so highly by certain people until they are regular people just wanting to be treated like a regular person.
 
Re: Bigotry is well and alive even among doctors.

Many people feel that a gay upbringing is harmful.

many people feel that a person who shares the views in your posts would be harmful in raising a child :shrug:

do you have a point?
 
Re: Bigotry is well and alive even among doctors.

"As it turns out, Roi has free choice too - the American Medical Association says physicians cannot refuse to care for patients based on sexual orientation, but doctors can refuse treatment if it's incompatible with their personal, religious or moral beliefs.In Michigan - there are no laws that protect lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender families from discrimination."

That law will change real soon.

And it won't make a difference in these cases. The patient is an infant--it has no known sexual orientation.

what is the gay agenda?

another posted lie and strawman lol
 
Re: Bigotry is well and alive even among doctors.

Actually it is relevant because you included something that is not part of the oath.

I don't expect you to know every version, but don't make assertions you can't back up. Here is another translation from the Greek: Greek Medicine - The Hippocratic Oath

As for the rest, I'm addressing a physician in an emergency situation, not an emergency doctor. Quite frankly, I don't care why this doctor doesn't want to treat the child, but I accept that there are some exceptions to that level of freedom. A physician who can't explain their reasons to me in person isn't a physician I would want to see.

If someone is going to have a cause celebre, they should have a bit more to base it on than hurt feelings.
 
Re: Michigan lesbian couple says pediatrician denied baby care due to sexual orientat

What kind of ****ed up religion prevents doctors from caring for innocent little babies? It can't possibly be Christianity. What religion is this person??!!

I know lesbians hotter than anything you will see in porn. They know just how I feel about their relationship. And guess what, we agree to disagree and are friends.

She didn't say her religion prevented her from caring for innocent little babies.
 
Re: Bigotry is well and alive even among doctors.

No more of a lie than kids with gay parents are just fine.

Translation: You can't answer the question, thats what i thought
facts win again
 
Re: Bigotry is well and alive even among doctors.

Yes, I do.

then please try to make one iand then back it up with facts instead of having all your posts destoryed by muitliple posters, thanks

You saying, and other posters, that I am wrong. Does not make it so. Just because you BELIEVE one way and I the other does not automatically make you right.
 
Re: Michigan lesbian couple says pediatrician denied baby care due to sexual orientat

She didn't say her religion prevented her from caring for innocent little babies.

I don't care what she said. She used her religion as an excuse not to do a well-baby checkup on this little girl. I'm asking what kind of ****ed up religion rejects innocent children in this manner? Because I know for a fact it cannot possibly be Christianity. Maybe she's a Catholic and the tyke is not baptised yet? WTF?
