Does this mean that as a ICU doctor, I can decide to deny treatments and interventions that I deem nonbeneficial or futile?

1. OK will these assholes have to DISCLOSE

you know, tell people up front what their HANGUPS are?

[JT45242]

2. Legalizes racism and homophobia

It allows for not helping because...
A. My conscience says gays deserve to die
B. My conscience says brown people are inferior and a waste of resources
C. My conscience says someone who married across races is going to hell, so I won't help this one either
D. My conscience says Muslims, Buddhists,bl etc are going to hell, so I should not help them either.
E. My conscience tells me women are really property designed to carry babies for the males that own them, so I can refuse to do abortions even if it means the woman dies.
F. My conscience tells me BLM t-shirt wearers are subhuman, so I will let that person die too

5. My conscience says

that I won't treat homophobes and racists.

6. It is worse than that in Ohio...you can deny treatments and interventions based on

morality for example to Gay people, Trans people ...anyone you morally object to basically as a Christian. It is despicable. Women who have abortion complications are forbidden to go to public hospitals and of course, Catholic hospitals don't take them...Ohio is almost entirely public and Catholic in terms of hospitals.

Now they won’t have to provide care to racists and rednecks!

8. Deny care. Billings go down. Insurance companies angry with you.
