That's unfortunate. The doctor is protected by their religious beliefs and thus is allowed to refuse the patient.
Thank the universe the bible doesn't make any explicit prohibitions to other minority groups or more people would be S.0.L

Should have her license revoked... there is only one rule for doctors.. the Hippocratic oath

Tell that to doctors who prescribe unnecessary, harmful synthetic hormones, and surgically mutilate the genitals of people with mental disorders. :roll:

Wow, have you actually read the Hippocratic Oath? I wouldn't have guessed that you were a strong advocate for this little gem: "Moreover, I will get no sort of medicine to any pregnant woman, with a view to destroy the child."
You know very well what I mean. The child needed care and refusing care is a fundamental break of any doctors oath or position.
"As it turns out, Roi has free choice too - the American Medical Association says physicians cannot refuse to care for patients based on sexual orientation, but doctors can refuse treatment if it's incompatible with their personal, religious or moral beliefs.In Michigan - there are no laws that protect lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender families from discrimination."
That law will change real soon.

you haven't been to michigan if you think so. Currently the state senate is busy with - instead of fixing the 3rd world roads and bridges or the 50:1 student teacher ratio - passing a "religious freedom" law that would *increase* discrimination
Supporters of that law insisted this kind of atrocity would never happen, but even without it, because the AMA won't stop it and neither will 28 states, a freaking baby is being denied medical care
I mean this is the same state that won't allow gay couples to co-adopt, so if the adoptive parent dies then the kid goes back to foster care. It's that evil
To be quite honest this did surprise me. For some reason I thought that educated people can and would rise above such blatant bigotry, but I guess that low life imbeciles exist in every walk of life.
This doctor refused to treat an infant because the parents are gay.

"a freaking baby is being denied medical care"
The parents went to a medical facility and they received care. You seem to care more about your agenda.
I read exactly what you wrote, it was quite clear and unambiguous. It's not my fault that you never read the Hippocratic Oath to know all that you demand of physician behaviour. At no time did the baby not have access to care and I'm sure that Dr. Karam is just as qualified.
There are no laws or medical code of ethics that support your position so you reach out to the ancient text of the Hippocratic Oath (but only for those parts you think support your views and discard the rest).

yeah, eventually they did. And rosa parks could've "known her place" on the back of the bus. No problem right? I mean, she did get on the bus
Such discrimination harms the children of gay couples, just from knowing they are 2nd class, not to mention there is no justifiable reason for them to be inconvenienced even in the slightest, just because the parents are gay
You seem to care more about trivializing the disgusting behavior of this "doctor"
This was for a wellness visit, there was no cracked skull or other serious issue. You are over dramatizing by saying "eventually they did". From the story: "The new mothers were shocked, hurt and angry, and they proceeded with the appointment with the other doctor, then found another pediatric group for their baby." Sure there was some drama from the physician: ""Dr. told us she didn't even come to the office that morning because she didn't want to see us."
Comparing this to Rosa Parks? Applying that standard to every situation trivializing both your argument and Rosa Parks.
Yes, because clearly the US is circling the drain."As it turns out, Roi has free choice too - the American Medical Association says physicians cannot refuse to care for patients based on sexual orientation, but doctors can refuse treatment if it's incompatible with their personal, religious or moral beliefs.In Michigan - there are no laws that protect lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender families from discrimination."

The baby wasn't denied medical care. Another doctor in the practice provided the baby with medical care.
