That's a running theme with this administration.  If this new office/law will change nothing, then why propose it and waste all of our money on it?  Where are doctors being forced to perform procedures they disapprove of?  That's not happening.  Nobody is forcing a Christian oncologist to go perform an abortion or a staunch orthodox jewish dermatologist to be party to a sex-change operation.  

It's probably the most blatantly pandering thing this administration has done, and that's fuckin' saying something.
Still not seeing what is bad.....
You say it does not do anything... others are saying that it discriminates against people, and that a doctor can turn away a patient because they don't like their group.  All I'm asking is what does it actually say.
If it is putting into a law what you say, then why is that bad?  In kinda seems like people just want to complain, even when they have nothing to complain about.

Frankly, I would be surprised if it allows discrimination based on the person, and it seems like a lot of hype without much specifics.

Then why make the law and an enforcement branch at all? 

Fear of religious persecution over rides fear of discrimination.

I don't see any harm, in making a law, for something even if most adhere to it anyway.   
An enforcement branch may require some justification if there is not really a need for it.

However my question is still what are you getting all upset about, and why should I be?
