Cassell may be walking a thin line between his right to free speech and his professional obligation, said William Allen, professor of bioethics, law and medical professionalism at the University of Florida’s College of Medicine.

Well, he basically said that he won’t refuse care, just “if they turn around and walk away so be it”.

If someone voted for BHO and is proud of it, he or she should seek treatment elsewhere.
I wonder how long before a mob wants to ‘test’ him and comes into his office and “gets in his face” as their leader has ordered them to do, saying “Yeah, I voted for him. You treat me anyway...and FREE!”
If someone didn’t want my business and stated why, I would gladly take my business elsewhere. He has a right to treat who he wants.

Who wants to bet me how many neo-natal care facilities get closed that are parts of religious facilities?
All those welfare babies will be taken care of by midwives-—just like NObama said:
