It bothers me that healthcare is treated like it's any other business. It's not. It includes emergency services. You can't shop around during an emergency. It's not a market-driven situation. This is, of course, specifically intended to make lifesaving abortions more difficult, allowing healthcare (un) professionals to deny care to a woman with a perforated aorta, allowing mother and fetus to die rather than terminate the pregnancy to save the woman's life. But, I'm waiting for the day when a Jehovah's Witness refuses to give someone a blood transfusion on religious grounds. Or when an Orthodox Jew refuses to treat a woman because she's having her period and the Bible says she's unclean.

How Christian of him!!!! And the Evangelicals approve!!!!

I can't help but think this is kind of thing is representative of a fading mindset. It's wrong. It's fucking infuriating. There's more work to be done. I find hope in groups like this and the people willing to stand up and speak out. Thanks for sharing.

He's a Yuge panderer to his bigoted/racist fanatic base..I'm actually surprised it didn't happen sooner...the DoJ is in the process of setting up a committee to respond and defend against any legal challenges to it and the new "decree" enabling religiturds to refuse LGBTQ people healthcare based on their Religious doctrine..

Its terrible that religous scruples can rule our live.

Why this is even a consideration is repugnant.

The fact that we're living in 2018 but, shit like this is still happening is rather disconcerting. But, some court will strike it down as unconstitutional and it will eventually end up in the Supreme Court. And THEN, hopefully, it will be eliminated permanently.
