I suppose if:
1. your sincere religious beliefs impelled you to deny all medical care to people based on their beliefs - in other words your religion establishes that certain beliefs make you an unperson.
AND
2. This bill were written saying anything at all about denying all medical care, which it is not, since the provider would be forced to identify specific forms of care that they were unwilling to provide to _all_ people, rather than _all_ forms of care to _certain_ people.
- anonymouskimmer 3y ago> in other words your religion establishes that certain beliefs make you an unperson. Not an unperson, but equivalent to supporting the enemy. Would you be comfortable saving the life of a person you know is a mass murderer, who hasn't yet been arrested of charged, and thus would be free to murder again after you save their life, for instance?
- ledauphin 3y agoDoctors literally do this all the time. This is part of what it means to be a doctor. ER surgeons don't get to know whether the patient is a "good guy or a bad guy" before they save the patient's life. And this bill doesn't change that long-established approach to medicine.
