Doctors Lose Religious Freedom

So now, homosexual couples can use this case as standing to get married in churches. I bet the state will next try to mandate that priests and other ministers conduct these homosexual unions. This is a bad day. BAD DAY!

Ok i thought the whole reason for the Pilgrims coming to america thing was to be able to believe and follow whatever religion you wanted to and not being forced to do something against your religion! Now I could be wrong and please correct me if I am!

The Pilgrims weren't Catholic.

You are correct. The justices in California must have forgotten this.

The real question is, when will you stop reading that emotionally charged garbage they call news on World Net Daily?

Their rights are being infringed upon! They are being discriminated against! If they just "go elsewhere" how with this grave wrong be righted???

Not to mention that you don't make any money from lawsuits if you don't take them to court.

Granted, WND is horrible journalism that is ridden with emotional bias. However, if you remove the emotional bias from this particular story, you are still left with a story that is horribly disconcerting, regardless of the news vendor. Here's the same story from a few other sources; let's see if that makes me any less angry:

[url="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/08/19/BA2212D6H4.DTL&type=health"]San Francisco Chronicle[/url]

[url="http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-supreme19-2008aug19,0,2388017.story"]LA Times[/url]

Nope. I'm still pretty angry. And that was four liberal outlets!

are you suggesting that there is this doubled standard? I see that happening a tad! [color="#FF0000"]"Oh respect the Jews and Muslims [/color](which don;t get me wrong you should respect everyone and their beliefs)[color="#FF0000"]beliefs but how dare those Catholics hold a belief that is not held by the average Citizen"![/color]
This is in extreme cases but I personally do see it happening !

[quote name='MissScripture' post='1631704' date='Aug 19 2008, 01:47 PM']What they're doing is forcing anyone with relgious convictions out of health care. And if that happens, a lot of the health care workers left are those in it for the money (not all, but a lot). And personally, I don't want someone who just cares about money taking care of me![/quote]

Amen Sister!

I have a question to everyone here (I have not made up my mind on this)

Should a Doctor who is a Jehova Whitness be able to refuse to administer a blood tranfusion to a patient in need of emergency care?

yeah, I'm being lazy and not reading through all the posts so if i'm a repeat, don't sue me.

All i have to say about that article is that if those doctor's were really Christian, they would recognize the immorality of Artificial Insemination and there wouldn't have been a problem or a lawsuit, which paves the way for other problem areas- like pharmacists who refuse to dispense contraception, or doctors who will not refer for abortions, etc.
