Second amendment rights. But only for Christians and McCain voters.

This is really dumb, and I'd like to see everyone in this comm agree that the owner of this store is violating the law and discriminating unjustly. That is my view, if there is another view out there, please, share it with me.

It'd be real stupid of him to refuse treatment when he knows he'd be civilly liable for wrongful death which would ruin his career and cost him his entire life's fortune.

Unless the community refused to prosecute him because the person who died as a result of the lack of care was a dirty (insert pejorative here) and deserved to die, and everyone praised the hospital for backing that brave doctor for getting rid of yet another (insert pejorative here).

Common historical situations like this are why regulations have been crafted to prevent rampant discrimination.

Wrongful death is a civil matter.

And to a degree, if a hospital is registered for emergency services with the local municipality, then I don't see how they'd get away with refusing emergency services.

That is a legally tricky area between public and private.
