"The bill allows health care workers to refuse service to anyone on moral, ethical or religious grounds."

Can a fundie refuse treatment to a Muslim, a Jew, a Hindu, an atheist? What about drug addicts? What about treating an unmarried woman for complications of a miscarriage? What about venereal disease? Would it be a problem to treat a morbidly obese person, who the health care worker deems to be guilty of 'gluttony'? A person who has served a sentence for the unethical act of embezzlement can be refused treatment? What about someone who cusses? What if I have a pro-choice bumper-sticker on my car and they deem me immoral? What if I have a Kerry sticker... some may deem me immoral. Some regard wearing makeup as immoral. What if they know I dance sometimes? What if they don't like the fact that I had a margarita Friday night?

What are we coming to?
