Our Republican elected officials are far more knowledgeable about what best medical practices are, and if licensed physicians are just too goddam squeamish to do their jobs, then our faultless elected officials will mandate it by law!

Gee, when it's put that way, it sort of sounds . . . just wrong, doesn't it? I'm sure our conservative friends will be along any second now on the teevee to explain it all for us.
