Good. Horrible bill for Christians. Just horrible.
Muslim Doctor refuses to give emergency treatment to Christian. Do I really need to go on and on and on with a list. Constitutional rights are NOT absolute. This is like giving people a First Amendment right to yell “fire” in a crowded theater. It’s like giving Second amendment rights permitting someone to walk into my home with a gun.
Hey GOP. Ya know it’s actually OK to give us some people that are, I dunno ... smart.
Conservatives need to ID the nitwits that came up with this idiocy and Primary them. (if they have Primaries in State elections there)
Absolutely correct, except not at all.
Ignore that the media is saying about the bill and read this excellent piece about what it actually is: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3127170/posts
Read it, then tell us if you really believe it is a substantial burden for a muslim doctor to provide emergency care to a Christian, and that there is no compelling state interest in the matter.

I do wish people would read it before trying to instruct others about what it says.
RE: Muslim Doctor refuses to give emergency treatment to Christian.
OK, let’s argue that.... SO WHAT?
The Christian has no recourse to see other doctors?
Let’s say an idiotic, cruel, racist businessman refuses to service a Vietnamese because he hates Vietnamese, the Vietnamese then has no recourse to do business with others?
What about freedom of association?
The fundamental question then is this — DO PEOPLE HAVE RIGHTS NOT TO ASSOCIATE WITH OTHERS REGARDLESS OF REASON?
honestly. if a Muslim doctor does not want to care for me in the ER, I don’t think I’d want him forced to. Go find a doctor that wants my money. Because if I die, it’s gonna be REALLY hard for me to write the check.
NO ONE should be forced to do work for someone they don’t want to (unless they are convicted and sent to prison/jail)
Muslim doctor does not want to work on Christians? ok. fire him and find someone who will.
Baker does not want to make a cake with 2 dudes on top, no problem. They can go find someone who will.
I went to a shop to have the plow repaired on my truck. First shop said “we don’t work on that brand” now I could have ran to a judge to force them too, or I could take it to the next place who gladly accepted my money.
it’s not really that hard to figure out.
Muslim Doctor refuses to give emergency treatment to Christian.
Neither the generality nor the specific case of a state licensed doctor has been substantiated sufficiently against the The Religious Freedom Restoration Act, S.B. 1062.
wth? you are wrong.
you want government to force a private business(like a doctor) to give service to some one? that’s socialism/totalitarianism . a private business is like your home as it is your property (just as this site is) . you have a right to not let anyone into your home even if you advertise for a garage sale. you can kick out anyone out of your home . what you are advocating is empowering government to take over our individual rights . you trust government to make the right decision over a private business owner.
the key battle is between individual rights(right to ownership) and between the growth of government power. if you empower government in any are you lessen our rights and freedom and weaken the right to ownership.
> Muslim Doctor refuses to give emergency treatment to Christian.
Whaddya mean? Moslem taxi drivers and store clerks can already refuse to serve people who buy alcohol or who have seeing-eye dogs.
The only people being CRUCIFIED Gaystapo lawsuits are CHRISTIANS.
I’d love to see one of those fairies go into a Moslem bake shop and ask them to make a fairy wedding cake, or, better yet, to ask a Moslem photographer to “shoot” their fairy wedding.
