Trump administration announces conscience and religious freedom HHS Division

[The Valkyrie]

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..

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.
