Related: About this forumTYT: Doctor Refuses To Care For Baby Of Lesbian Couple
"A Detroit-area pediatrician has refused to treat a baby girl because the child s parents are a same-sex couple.
According to MyFoxDetroit.com, Krista and Jami Contreras got a shock when they brought their newborn daughter Bay Windsor Contreras to Dr. Vesna Roi for her first medical visit.
In spite of the fact that they had set up an appointment with Dr. Roi well in advance, they were met by a different physician, who informed them, Ill be your doctor, I ll be seeing you today because Dr. Roi decided this morning that she prayed on it and she won t be able to care for Bay."

Appalling. Do no harm; does not apply to caring for an innocent child, and the parents.

since she "prayed on it".
Far better that the couple found out now that they had chosen a bigot for a pediatrician.

all I can say is, that is one really small, mean, nasty god.
And apparently hard of hearing, since it took so long to get an answer out of all that praying.

others" religious tenets? And what kind of doctor puts their bigotry ahead of a child's health?
