Freedom of association doesn't really extend to the business world. That's why employers aren't allowed to discriminate because of race and racist cops aren't allowed to ignore 911 calls from black people.

why should the government deny health care workers their freedom of association?

What if a doctor decides not to treat black people, or poor people? On truly libertarian grounds we don't need things like the equal rights amendment, societal and professional pressure should keep people from discreminating. Because it’s a slippery slope.

I think societal and professional pressure is enough for most health care workers to treat everyone with fairness.

Or Jews. Or Protestants of a certain stripe. Just not blacks or Hispanics or Asians. The <b>bad</b> news is that Colorado passed a similar law yesterday, though apparently more out of wingnut frustration at the demise of Amendment 2. I'm still not convinced these two incidents, a day apart, aren't evidence of the VRWC. The “good” news is that the law would allow medical workers to object to Catholics. Or Jews.
