According to ProudParenting.com, the conscience clause laws that pharmacists have been using to deny women birth control and emergency contraception prescriptions could also be used by doctors to refuse treatment to gay and lesbian patients. Looks like these laws are just chock full of discrimination. Jeez.

The ProudParenting piece specifically discusses Michigan’s law, which Rep. Chris Kolb (D-Ann Arbor) notes “doesn't ban discrimination based on a person's sexual orientation.” The legislation prohibits racial discrimination.

This isn't the first law as of late that discriminates against more than who it was intended for. Are these overlaps simply disturbing coincidences? Or is creating legislation that can be used against all kinds of us crazy "sinners" a deliberate strategy? Yes, perhaps slightly paranoid...
