(CNSNews.com) – Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), who is also an OB/GYN, told CNSNews.com on Friday that many medical practitioners, including himself, will go to prison before agreeing to engage in medical practices they morally oppose, such as abortion.

Senator Coburn rocks! We are stuck with Bingaman and Udall here.
Muslim docs treat Jewish patients all the time...and they treat Gay patients too.
However, I know of cases where Muslim docs risked being thrown out of their residencies for refusing to do abortions.
Don’t mix up the idiots with pious Muslim believers who have more in common with pious Christians than with the nut cases.
