All this bullshit really started with Bush and his shit with pharmacists being able to not prescribe medicines to people they felt ws morally unacceptable to them. This was a covert attempt to regualte and control womens reproductive choices as the meds people refused to prescribe using this law were the morning after pill, or birth control pills. Interestingly enough, there were NO refusals to fill a script for Cialis, or Levitra or Viagra.
This is simply another attempt to control people, only this time it is gays. People were ok when it was 'saving unborn babies lives' and they apparently didn't realize, as many women said, that this law was a slippery slope and would lead to other laws reguarding the exact thing we are seeing now.
We have let the religious right force their beliefs on us reguarding abortion, so now they think that since that went through, so will this. They have strengthed their platform and think they will win. It is no surprise to me what so ever. I did state to my mom and wife that this would be next, it only took 5 years to prove me right.
In reguards to this whole mess, I will stand by my original statement. If you are a medical professional then you have no right withholding your services from some people. If your morals might interfere with your job, it is your responsibilty to think of this impact before you take this job. That means if you want to be a doctor or therapist(like me) you need to realize that you will need to make sure that you are ok providing services to all people no matter what. If you can not in good concience do this, you need to find another career.
