Such a combination of supreme ignorance and arrogance should have been caught in their interviews for medical school and they should have been rejected.

Physicians have an obligation to treat their patients regardless of sexual orientations, religion, or race.

But someone always losses and some always wins when a court decides a case. Isn't the question always "What is constitutional?". I bring this up because I have, for my entire life, heard people make anger-filled statements about the government telling them what to do as though "staying out of peoples lives" is more important to them than holding up the constitution.

IMHO, health care professionals who insist they are unable to treat certain patients because the treatment conflicts with their religious beliefs have the option of working in places where such issues will not be raised or considering a different line of work. The third option is simply to do the job they signed on to do. This is a good ruling.
