San Francisco obstetrician refuses to treat McCain/Palin supporters?
Edited on Fri Apr-02-10 09:12 PM by Barrymores Ghost
Okay, so I'm two days late on the April Fool's joke shit, but do you get the message? Can you imagine the hue and cry from the loony Right fringe if an Ob/Gyn in a Blue state posted a sign outside of his/her clinic door stating that anyone disputing a woman's right to choose her reproductive health should seek her own pregnancy counseling or treatement elsewhere?

And yet, some douchebag in Florida, who practices urology (a specialty that relies, predominantly, upon older Americans - hence, erego, thusly "MEDICARE" patients - as a clientele), is somehow a hero of the Right for exercising his "freedom of speech?" Regardless of his Hippocratic oath? This bastard relies upon socialized medicine for a living, but he bitches about what he perceives as "socialized medicine?" Whattsamattah, Doc? You worried that you won't get to double-ding anymore?

Tea-Baggers: FUCK you.

1. eh - look at the bright side...
at least his potential patients now know to go find a new doc. this one is probably a pretty crappy doc anyway - he obviously doesn't care about his patients.

Let the tea baggers go to him for less than adequate care. they deserve each other.

4. I know that the abortion providers don't refuse to perform abortions
for the women who have been regularly picketing their offices, when they finally show up inside the office requiring their services.

They would surely be more justified than Dr. Teabagger is.

5. Not only that,
but they have people to escort them in during pickets just like everyone else. Escorts that are forbidden to ask them what suddenly changed their mind. Of course their minds are almost never changed. Within a week or two you see them right back on the line waving signs and screaming at other women.

It's one of the reasons I keep insisting it's about nothing more than keeping women they don't approve of in their place.

9. i worked at a clinic that provided abortions and those women were really
something else...when they came in for their abortions they usually said something like "I'm against abortion but my case is different." And they really believed it! They really thought the rules only applied to other women, not them...go figure...

6. Daily Kos had a snark thread about a proctologist who would no longer treat Republicans.
Said he and his staff were spending too much time removing sticks...

7. Its fair if Pelosi extends the warning given the insurance companies over the "not cover kids" flop
Put this guy out of business ANYWHERE in the United States or its territories if he refuses to see people because of their political views, which I thought was illegal anyway. :shrug:

8. Evidently the only way to get attention in this country anymore is to
do something teabaggery. This idiot probably thought it would bring him fame and more clients if he fulfilled his long held dream of being in the spotlight. I'm sure he's ready for his close-up now since it actually worked.

10. A good idea, IMO. Too bad more of them don't post their political opinions on their front door -
- that way I know which doctors to avoid.
