Poll finds Michiganders support letting doctors refuse to treat gays
"Should a physician be allowed to turn you away if you're gay? Sounds like a no-brainer - but not if you live in Michigan," writes Richard Goldstein of the Village Voice. "The bill bar physicians from denying patients access to contraception, and it forbids discrimination against groups mentioned in the state civil rights law. Guess which group is excluded from that statute?" Yeah, that would be us. "Perhaps the most disturbing news of all," writes Goldstein, "was a Detroit News poll asking whether the bill should become law even though 'some fear this means gays and lesbians could be refused treatment.' Over 53 percent of respondents replied in the affirmative." Nice.
