Let's take it down a few notches, everyone. I know this topic angers us but let's not let the discussion get out of hand.
Stooping down, dipping my wings, I came into the darkly-splendid abodes. There, in that formless abyss was I made a partaker of the Mysteries Averse. LIBER CORDIS CINCTI SERPENTE-11;4

A Detroit-area pediatrician refused to treat a newborn baby girl because her parents are lesbians, according to local media reports that have highlighted a lack of legal protections for LGBT people in many states.

Krista and Jami Contreras brought their 6-day-old baby girl to see Dr. Vesna Roi at Eastlake Pediatrics in Roseville, Michigan, for her first checkup in October 2014. They were dismayed when they were greeted by a different pediatrician, who told them Roi had "prayed about it" and decided she could not treat the baby for religious regions, the Detroit Free Press reported on Wednesday.

The baby didn't do anything.  What kind of doctor would allow an innocent baby to suffer over bigoted beliefs.

Sigh, I thought being a Doctor was supposed to be about being dedicated to saving human life and being honest and unbiased

Sad where's the babies rights and care?

When a doctor takes the Hipocratic oath, it means to treat every person he sees with dignity and respect. In this cas, I believe that he violates that trust. Many people will use religion to justify their own biases. It's nothing new, really.
