Emergency Rooms not morally required to perform life-saving measures for

[DemocraticPatriot]

Republican judges or politicians---- in my humble opinion---


Instead, they should "pull themselves up by their own bootstraps"--
or pray to that god of theirs for relief....

Maybe. Maybe not.

1. May they all receive the same level of care that they are decreeing for women.

2. With the commensurate volume and ferocity of condescension/judginess too please.

I want them to have a wand shoved in their taint a few times and then make them look at pictures of vibrant, young, living women who were hurt and killed by a lack of access to healthcare because the LAW did not treat them as fully human people.

4. YES!!!

6. it's already bad enough.

i dont know a woman w a chronic illness who hasnt been blown off by docs. stack up enough docs, and you’re a hypochondriac.
or a woman who’s had a baby w/o a doc at least saying something stupid, if not treating her like a cow.

now this.

3. I'm in complete agreement!

5. Morality is all about religion, so keep it out of our secular laws. Laws need to be ethical & intelligent...

… and fairly applied. That is what the Founding Fathers intended. They didn’t want religion to define our laws or our country — because it then becomes very quickly a matter of which religion and whose god is being interpreted and imposed on all of is. And that way lies the slippery slope to Theocratic Hell.

Emergency Rooms are not “morally” bound to save women’s lives? Well, to hell with that argument. Emergency Rooms are LEGALLY bound to do so.

7. Legally Or Morally?

I can see how a judge, on a narrow reading of a specific law can rule on the legal merits of an argument.
But, a judge doesn't get to decide what is moral or immoral.
In this case, these hospitals are forced to make an immoral decision on medical care for legal reasons.
Legal & moral are not inextricably linked.
