PRAIRIE VILLAGE, Kan. - With the presidential election less than a week away one Kansas City woman says it can't be over soon enough.

Linda Lighton contacted 41 Action News claiming her doctor refused to treat her because of her political views.

Both the Lighton and her physician, Dr. Robert Battmer, agree there was a discussion about a political sign hanging inside the doctor's office. They disagree on how it ended.

She said Battmer escorted her out after she told him she wasn't voting for his candidate for president.

"I think everybody is entitled to an opinion," Lighton said.

But on Monday, Lighton said her own opinion got her removed from her gynecologist's office.

"As I went into the office part, he had a Romney/Ryan poster pasted on his door. He said, 'Did you see this Romney sign?' I said, 'Well I did,'" she recounted.

1. She lives in Kansas...

So, she already has too many Republicans in her vagina. If it was me, I wouldn't have to be asked to leave, I would be out of there and I would tell him why to his face.
