      She said she does have experience navigating the world of healthcare and Medicaid and explains she feels privileged in this way — a way most others wouldn’t be, especially being a white woman and employed.

      Nope she’s a white woman. I mean I agree that I would have wagered she wasn’t white and hence the treatment. But fuck these religious bigots. I’m so sick of people not even following the teachings of the religion they so desperately use to define their lives.

      The 2025 Medical Ethics Defense Act allows physicians to deny care to patients whose lifestyles they disagree with

      “It’s absolutely not ‘pro-life’ — and not very Christian either,” said Rep. Gloria Johnson (D-Knoxville), as she shared the woman’s story after the town hall. “And who else are they not going to treat? I had a friend say: what about someone who’s addicted to drugs or alcohol, or who’s struggling with mental health? If you can just refuse treatment to anyone whose lifestyle you disagree with — that’s not medical ethics. That’s fascism.”

    She wasn’t even “promiscuous”. That absolutely shouldn’t Legally matter and doesn’t morally matter at all, but the physician wasn’t even going for low hanging fruit: she had been with the same man for 15 years and they had a 13yo together?? They were essentially married. Stfu dumb ass physician.

    I hope it goes all the way to the Supreme Court (not that she should have to) and I like to think if I ever met said physician I would suddenly recieve divine intervention that, morally, no doctors should have Achilles tendons.
