If we can prevent the government from wasting the labor of the people
under the pretense of caring for them, they will be happy. - Thomas Jefferson

Separation of Church and... Aw, screw it...

Nursing Grudges - Why do we protect the moral convictions of only some health workers?(slate)
Our Congress, who dutifully swore to defend the Constitution, which clearly states that there is to be a separation of Church and State, have decided to create legislation that allows medical professionals to refuse treatment based on "religious beliefs or moral convictions."

Of course, there is no provision for those whose moral convictions dictate that we don't dictate what people can and can't do.

THIS is whyipaytaxes.

This honestly scares the crap out of me... A doctor or a pharmacist can decide for me what I can have and not have, based on his convictions? The religious right have turned this country into a huge battleground. Fucking religious zealots! They won't be happy until all of us succumb to the will of God!

Ha!
