Being Allowed To Refuse Service For Religious Reasons Is Way Too Far & DANGEROUS. [View all]

So if you are seriously ill or dying and you are LGBT or you are a women who needs a abortion to save your live or you are having a dangerous miscarriage and need immediate treatment you can be denied care if someone of conscience will not help. My take is that the religious freedom policy is just completely insane.

Something is radical wrong when we have gotten to this point. And what if that person is the only one available. So there will be an ER question are you gay. Or are you a Moslem or a Christian.
