LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) -- An Arkansas House panel has rejected a measure that would have allowed hospitals and health care workers to refuse to treat patients based on religious or moral objections after it faced criticism that the move was unnecessary and discriminatory.

..
The bill would have protected health care professionals, facilities and insurers if they declined to provide non-emergency treatment that would violate their conscience. Supporters said the measure was needed to protect the religious freedom of people working in health care.

thank god!

1. Wow, Arkansas?

I'll take every victory we can get. Even more impressive to get one in the bible belt!
