Trump administration announces conscience and religious freedom HHS Division

[Whateverist]

From what I understand, the intention of this is to not force doctors to perform procedures they have a moral objection to, such as abortion. I highly doubt this will turn into doctors legitimately being allowed to refuse to treat a patient based on the patient's orientation/faith/politics..

Don't you think there must be at least a few doctors out there with the same mindset as those bakers who didn't want to make a cake for a homosexual wedding?

Doctors have no such right . You choose to be doctor you will perform your job or lose it . What's next we start allowing scientologist doctors to refuse to do blood transfers or organ transplants . Do muslim doctors get to refuse to treat blind people . And their is nothing to stop doctors from doing just this . And mark my words they will .

This border line reminds me of that Kim Davis fool

This, precisely.

Years ago as an intern - yes, even I was one of those icky things once - working night shift in the A&E, the police brought in a guy for treatment who had just beaten and sexually assaulted a young woman.

I had moral objections about treating him.  Do you know what I did?

I kept my objections to myself and did my job.

I discovered later that he had apparently "resisted arrest" several times, which was why he needed treatment.

Hope you told the deputies who brought him in that you'd be there all night if he should resist some more.
