EMS personnel have an affirmative duty to provide care to any patient presenting to them after a report of an emergency situation.
Individuals who are competent may object to treatment or transportation by EMS personnel. MCL 333.20969 “If emergency medical services personnel, exercising professional judgment, determine that the individual’ s condition makes the individual incapable of competently objecting to treatment or transportation, emergency medical services may provide treatment or transportation despite the individual’s objection unless the objection is expressly based on the individual’s religious beliefs.”

I have no stake in it and its not my cause..but when I read some think its ok to deny emergency treatment.. Your statement about needing laws like this make ZERO sense.
Pretty damn sick of everybody religeon
No one wants to deny emergency treatment to gays bro. The libtarded author is just trying to get you all riled up because that's what he gets paid to do.

Actually that is wrong:
This law does not trump existing medical laws. There are federal and state laws preventing the denial or refusal of medical care and treatment.
And how would a first responder or fire fighter know if a person is homosexual or not?

Yes Im getting that feeling..still do not understand your statement about needing such laws, its a very bad door to open..even just a crack.
Accept my apology regarding my earlier poor choice of words.

It is time to have a religion which doctrines would prevent care for politicians.

We all did. I'm just waiting for the Muslims to get their day too. Won't THAT be fun?

So, it's clear that in federal and state law, you cannot discriminate against someone because of their religion, but since the Hobby Lobby decision, religious people are trying to make it so they can discriminate against whomever they want.
