Eventually AZ will be sorry Brewer didn't sign that bill.

In CO, we have a cake shop get sued because the owner refused to create a decorative wedding cake for two homosexuals.  The owner did not refuse to sell them a cake, he just said he would not create something that went against his religion.  The homosexuals sued and the cake shop owner lost.  It's on appeal and not resolved.

I wonder if the Sistine Chapel would have ever been painted if Michael Angelo had refused to paint it based on his religion?  This logic means any artist could be coerced into providing his or her skills regardless of their religious views.

Christians need to start suing faggot bakers for refusing to bake “Jesus loves me” or “Homosexuality can be cured” cakes.

Doesn’t matter its all about polling! She has no guts only polling advisors.

“The logic means that any artist can be coerced...” Perhaps it means that ANYONE can be coerced. How many objecting obstetricians will be forced to do abortions? How many employers will be forced to hire ex-cons? How many clerics will be forced to teach Darwin?

And if you can coerce people to use their skills where they are not doing so willingly... The first thing I thought of is the disaster that is coming when we already have a shortage of doctors.

We had a presentation at the Republican Men's Forum on the problems of Obamacare by a very bright doctor married to very bright woman whose career was in hospital management.

There is a frightening number of doctors practicing today who are over 60 (and a surprising number over 65).

We are not graduating enough people to replace them as they retire and many are retiring because of Obamacare or refusing to take Medicaid patients because it costs them money to take those patients. How many young people contemplating a medical career would change to something else?

Ocare's success depends on being able to coerce doctors to take patients they don't want and that's the case whether we're talking about Ocare as presented (never expected to work) or the real objective of single government payer.

This current attack is being made in several states with gay people suing to force people to provide them a service. (For the record, I bear NO malice toward gay people--just coercion.) It's wide spread enough that it's obviously a plan.

Whether it's just a plan to set up a BS attack on Republicans in the next election (like Steffy's contraception question that turned into "the war on women") or a longer range plan to force doctors to take as many non-paying patients as the dictator decides is right remains to be seen, but I think this is the end goal.

Sorry it took me almost as many pages to say it all as Ocare took...
