This is why, as I mentioned on another
thread, it is so important to call out ASH as a hate group, which is what they have become. Once they are identified and treated as fringe nutters who disseminate hatred for a group of people with no real positive or pro-active message whatsoever ("quit or die" does not qualify as pro-active) .
Once they can be identified in the common mind as fringe dwelling hate filled lunatics, then the middle of the road doctors will have less hesitation standing against them. As long as they are seen as the majority voice, or any part of the "normal" view, it is that much harder for doctors to come out and disagree with them.
