Can they also provide necessary procedures if it is required by their morals?
On call on Sunday. “Doctor, please help!” “Nope, working on Sunday violates my morals.”
Oh so now morality is wack huh.
So can I just not do my job if it violates my morals?
In other words, they’ll let lgbtq+ people, people of color, and women die…

Sad. Wish I could just leave for a sanctuary state, but I’m stuck there.
Same
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.)
or deny if they are christian or republican registered.
“Your chart here says you voted for donnie 3x…I’m sorry that’s a precondition called the real TDS that no one will cover…”
you also deny vaccine, promoted anti-vax on your social media pages.-denied.
It would be hilarious if doctors denied care to everybody who voted for this.
Any doctor that does this is a shitty fucking doctor.
Oh yeah, that should go over super well.
“It is immoral to provide health care, because that’s in defiance of God’s will.”

So racist doctors are protected now?
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I see this being repealed in record time.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.
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.
You can swear on the internet, I won’t tell mom.
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.)
Though shall not allow a politician to live… Or something like that. Sorry senator I can’t treat you.
