It seems that in Michigan doctors can refuse to treat gay folks and their children if they have religious objections in doing so. That is what has happened to a lesbian couple in suburban Detroit.
From myfoxdetroit:
Bay Windsor Contreras is 4 months old and she's the apple of her mothers' eye.
Both of her mothers, Krista and Jami Contreras were married in Vermont in 2012.
In October 2014 they welcomed a beautiful baby bay into the world and were quickly confronted with an ugly reality, one they say from a place they never expected.
"As far as we know Bay doesn't have a sexual orientation yet so I'm not really sure what that matters," Jami said. "We're not your patient - she's your patient. And the fact is that your job is to keep babies healthy and you can't keep a baby healthy that has gay parents?"
On Feb. 9, nearly four months after the appointment - the Contreras family finally received this letter from Roi.
The letter read:
"After much prayer following your prenatal, I felt that i would not be able to develop the personal patient-doctor relationships that I normally do with my patients."
"We do not keep prenatal information once we have our meetings so I had no way to contact you."
She apologizes, saying, "I should have spoken with you directly that day," and "please know that I believe that God gives us free choice and I would never judge anyone based on what they do with that free choice."
i feel confident the Bible does not say that a child should not be denied medical help because the parents are gay, i don't believe my God spoke to this person and told him to withhold i think there was either some outside influence or fear of, which IMO makes this dr guilty of infractions to the Hippocratic Oath, get a job that does allow you to punish kids something in the right wing many openings for bigots and haters.
