…while allowing health care providers to opt out of various treatments based on religious objections…

Can’t wait for the first religious objection to treating some southern evangelical. The outrage will be lit!

If my religion tells me that Trumpers are an abomination, how can I exert my religious freedom? Refuse to serve or protect them?
Are there any criteria to claim whatever I believe is a religion?

If my religion tells me that i can’t perform any medical services as a doctor and you can’t fire me for not doing anything because of my religion, does that mean i could not do any work but also can’t get fired?

against religious discrimination in the health care field.

Let me say this loud and clear. RELIGION SHOULD BE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST IN THE HEATH CARE FIELD! Jesus Fucking Hell, heath care is about science! It’s not governed by your fucking bronze age fairy tales!

I hate these people. I really, literally, hate them.

Not if you join my new church: “Our Lady of Convenient Principles.”

Seriously, though, the best response to escalation of this religious-freedom pass for bigotry and ignorance is a massive wave of new “religious” groups.

I have a family member who is an ER doc. Part of his medical training was making sure that as a doctor you are prepared to deal with whatever or whoever arrives at your door needing help. What are they teaching them at med schools these days?

The administration claims that the new moves will help guard against religious discrimination in the health care field.

When in fact it does just the opposite by allowing religious discrimination to flourish without consequence.

I think Dems really need to reclaim the “religious freedom” banner. It has great potential to be useful to many issues including abortion and LGBTQ.

no-vax is against my religion…take the kid home.

Shouldn’t be too hard there are plenty of New Testament passages condemning things like showy public displays of piety, monetizing the temple, or just wealth in general that could be used to go after a lot of those behaviors that seem to be the evangelicals bread and butter.
