Answer 1

It is not acceptable.  Anyone who holds himself out to provide services to the public may not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, or s*x.  The Bush position on this is erroneous.

Answer 2

Where's the parallels between being pro-life  vs. being a racist bigot?

Answer 3

You've confused private and public business.

As a doctor, in your own practice, do what you want.  Work at a public hospital in the ER, you have NO choice but to treat whomever comes.

Pharmacies are private businesses, (they sell condoms), and they can choose which medications they prefer to deal in.

Answer 4

So why are these women who don't want babies having s*x?  Why weren't they smart enough to get birth control in the first place?  Don't blame the pharmacists because some stupid woman was irresponsible.

But as for not operating on a black person, it's not their fault they are black.

Answer 5

I don't think you are a doctor but you are a racist.

Answer 6

They stink.

Have faith in Jesus and vote Obama.

Obama loves America

Obama is a humble Christian man.

Southern Whites will rally behind Obama.

Barack Obama is going to carry every state in the South including good old West Virginia.

Southern Whites for Obama.

Obama 08

God Bless America

Answer 7

Sounds good to me. Send him to the vet and be done with it.  

Answer 8

The reason that you became a doctor of medicine, I presume, is to help people - all people. The Hippocratic oath asserts that doctors of medicine attempt too save lives when and where possible.

It is a good idea to remember that people who you refere to as being "black" only have a different skin pigmentation to those of us who are of European extraction. They are human being just like every one else and need the same medical care and attention as all other human beings.

If you got among different tribal groups that you would term as being "black", you would find that amongst themselves they differentiate various groups from each other as having different shades of skin. They don't see themselves as being all one colour, e.g. black the way you say it.

Many of the so called "black" groups throughout the world have very rich cultural traditions that are older than European traditions and are very beautiful. It would do you good to learn about these instead of sinking into a pit of bitterness and destruction about a certain ethnic groups' skin colour.

Food for thought - and do care for people of all ethnic groups when you graduate.

Cheers!!!

TWO WORDS: Hippocratic Oath.

Answer 10

It's a business and they should be able to practice how they want to conduct business.
