    Can’t wait for a gay doctor to deny treatment for a bigot and all their heads explode.

    (They’re heads never actually explode and this bothers me.)

    It would be hilarious if doctors denied care to everybody who voted for this.

    A plain reading of the article suggests that it allows discrimination based on race, skin color, gender, and age. Of course we know that’s the point, doctors don’t want to treat minorities if they are racist pieces of s*** or otherwise bigoted, but what does the statute itself say?

    The Bill of Rights is supposed to protect us against the government, but in some situations it can protect us against other people who are being discriminating f*** faces, but I have no idea what will happen now in Tennessee.

      So are doctors who won’t morally treat a police officers gunshot wounds.

      I see this being repealed in record time.

      You dont get to be a conservative and an a qualified doctor, unless you want a doctor who just says the lord shall heal thy wounds and sends you on your way.

    Can they also provide necessary procedures if it is required by their morals?

    Hopefully any doctor who does this gets their accreditation or certification suspended. (I think the licenses are a state operation, so that’s not going to happen.)
