On a related issue, has anyone seen the claim that a conservative Christian doctor in Michigan refused to treat a sick infant because the infant's parents were gay? My questions:

1. Is this true, or a hoax?

2. If true, do you support the doctor?

My contention is that most opponents of gay marriage would not advocate refusing medical treatment to an infant just because the parents are gay. I see NO support for this in scripture, in Christian tradition, or in the attitudes of most conservative Christians, which is why I am suspicious of this story.

I don’t believe it either. Any Christian knows the difference between serving a public which may include homos, and serving the specific homosexual agenda.

I haven’t seen the story but could understand why a orthodox Christian might not want to take them into the practice as regular clients, as long as medical care from other practitioners was readily available.

Same-Sex Couple Blames Discrimination After Pediatrician Allegedly Refuses to See Their Newborn"

[Albion Wilde]

I saw the story. A lesbian couple adopted or produced a child. They wanted this pediatrician to do the six-week well-child exam and become the child’s doctor, but the pediatrician wrote to them saying she believed another doctor who was more supportive of their family arrangement would be better for them. The child was not sick; it was not an emergency, and the laws in the doctor’s state permit a doctor to refuse a service relationship with a potential patient. The doctor did nothing wrong, except in the eyes of the PC screechers. So of course, the lesbians posted it on FaceBook to throw the hate mail floodgates open.
