Michigan Preparing To Let Doctors Refuse To Treat Gays

(Lansing, Michigan) Doctors or other health care providers could not be disciplined or sued if they refuse to treat gay patients under legislation passed Wednesday by the Michigan House.

The bill allows health care workers to refuse service to anyone on moral, ethical or religious grounds.

The Republican dominated House passed the measure as dozens of Catholics looked on from the gallery. The Michigan Catholic Conference, which pushed for the bills, hosted a legislative day for Catholics on Wednesday at the state Capitol.

The bills now go the Senate, which also is controlled by Republicans.

From proud parenting

Now, in my checkered past, I was involved in teaching a course at a medical school located, to my eternal shame, in the Sodom of America, the People's Repulbic of Massachusetts, where we covered that old-fashioned stuff like medical ethics. Yup, even a godless, science-based profession like medicine has ethics, even though they aren't those divinely inspired, bible-based ethics.

For example, doctors aren't allowed to exile people with skin diseases to the desert, where they must rend their clothes and cry "unclean, unclean!" (Leviticus 13, 43-45). Doctors are actually supposed to treat them! (I know, I know, it's sinful, and I repent my satanic teaching.) Doctors aren't allowed to stone homosexuals to death either -- they actually have to treat them just as if they were normal human beings, no matter what the Bible says.

But fortunately, the good Catholics of Michigan have taken the God inspired, Bible believing initiative to stop the liberal culture of death from forcing pious, God fearing physicians to commit the mortal sin of saving the lives of homosexuals and thereby thwarting the will of the omnipotent ruler of the universe. I tell you brothers and sisters, the Kingdom is at hand!
