Law Tennessee doctor denies treatment to unmarried pregnant woman

[Crazy Source]

The funny thing about this matter is the general consensus on both sides of the aisle is the American medical system is fucked. Now we have people who are applauding ridiculous things to add even more roadblocks to getting medical care.

Disheartening, to say the least.

This is some taliban shit. smh

I don't call the USA the United Saudis of America for nothing.

Welcome to theocracy.

The craziest thing about the anti-Muslim screed from the past was just how much the Christian right wanted to implement the same things. Fast forward a few years and we're seeing it in effect in multiple examples. This is just the latest but it won't be the last.

I don't know the Christian version of Sharia law but I'm going to abuse the shit out of the term once I learn it.

American Christians were always Sharia west and they never knew it.
Everything they hated about Muslims, they were all guilty for doing and thinking.
Too stupid to actually see the similarities and no self-awareness to realize it.

I mean, when my wife was pregnant she went to a few doctors to see who we wanted to help with the delivery. I don’t get what the issue is here, she obviously went to another doctor so what is the problem? Just that she assumed all Tennessee doctors would be equally idiotic?

The problem is systemic discrimination.

The problem is systemic discrimination.

That’s not really systemic, that’s just one asshole in a backwater town

 

[Sinister]

You let people do what they want and let people refuse to support people and business like that with their time and money.

This is not a sound argument to allow for legal systemic discrimination in health care.

 

[Sinister]

That’s not really systemic, that’s just one asshole in a backwater town

Huh? It's literally a law that allows that one backwater @sshole to run his entire practice like that.

The law enables the discrimination. That's the definition of systemic

I don’t really see the problem. He’s still obligated to provide standard of care for thirty days since seeing her. I really wouldn’t want a doctor caring for me who was forced to take me on against his or her will. It’s not like he turned her away at the door.

More that the laws allow for discrimination versus actual systemic discrimination

What's against his or her will? No one forced them to become a Doctor.

Systemic discrimination is always a problem, but I can see a few people here wont see a problem with it until its expressed in a way they vehemently disagree with.

I disagree with it altogether. Perhaps it was all that non-woke, non-PC, offensive TV I watched as a kid:

That IS systemic discrimination.

We’re pro-life but you’ve got to be married…

I mean, even Jesus’s momma was a ho who got preggers before she was married, and she didn’t even marry the baby daddy. Yet, she’s got like, statues in churches, and her own dedicated prayer.

Denying medical care to a pregnant woman because of your ethics sounds perfectly on-brand for an American Christian.

They are MAGA-CHINOS. Christians in Name Only.

 

[Rob Battisti]

That IS systemic discrimination.

It isn’t.

Systemic discrimination refers to patterns of behavior, policies, or practices that are part of the structures of institutions and that result in unequal outcomes or disadvantages for certain groups—typically based on race, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, or other identity markers—even if no individual actor is explicitly biased.

There is no pattern, policy or practice that is discriminatory.

There is a law which allows for discrimination and one case of discrimination. That isn’t a pattern.

You may say “well the policy allows for it!” The policy isn’t discriminatory. It’s not telling people to discriminate.

Anyway, the law sucks.

What would the noise sound like if an atheist refused to treat Christians?

They’d all ban together to say fuck that guy go somewhere else

It is.

Even a conservative Doctor agreed in here that unwed Mothers have had a history of medical discrimination. That's the pattern. The policy is absolutely discriminatory. The notion that it must be explicitly so is a fallacy. If it elicits discrimination in its optimal function and allows agencies to enforce said discrimination, it is systemic discrimination.

 

[Blayt7hh]

Like I said you let people decide and not support him with their time or money.

Yeah sure. That would be your exact same opinion if they threw you out for wearing a maga hat on your Facebook profile. Except we all know for a fact you would suddenly have a problem with it.

You do realize that medical care is not the same kind of goods and service as popping down to the gas station right?
