Today's Juxtaposition Workshop features two stories from today's wires. First, a matter of religious conviction:
A proposal to shield doctors and pharmacists from penalties for refusing to provide health services because of religious or moral objections won approval Tuesday from the Louisiana House, but only after the measure was rewritten to limit its scope.
Next, a matter of, well, religious conviction:
Authorities nationwide are on the lookout Wednesday for a mother and her 13-year-old cancer-stricken son who fled after refusing the chemotherapy that doctors say could save the boy's life.
The Hausers are Roman Catholic and also believe in the "do no harm" philosophy of the Nemenhah Band, a Missouri-based religious group that believes in natural healing methods advocated by some American Indians.
