„Äußerst beunruhigend und unethisch“: Neue Vorschriften erlauben es Ärzten der Veteranenbehörde, Demokraten und unverheiratete Veteranen die Behandlung zu verweigern.
Das Ministerium für Veteranenangelegenheiten erklärt, die Änderungen seien eine Reaktion auf eine Verordnung von Trump zum „Schutz von Frauen“.
While I’m very against the executive order they describe, the headline is misleading:
So they can also refuse to treat e.g. republicans and married veterans.
lol I wouldn’t be surprised if the republicunts thought this was the ultimate checkmate
They are too dim to understand that these dumb laws they’re passing are two-edged swords that can be used against them. Unfortunately, they DO understand that Dems won’t take advantage of these laws.
SCOTUS gave the president incredible immunity superpowers, knowing HitlerPig would abuse the privilege, but it applied to Biden, too. But did he use his immunity to lock up HitlerPig and all of his henchmen, knowing they were fully guilty of all sorts of treason and corruption? He did not.
No VA doctor should be refusing to treat any patient for those reasons. It’s absurd and unethical.
Yeah but you have MAGA people who are doctors and I’m sure they mostly don’t have ethical standards.
Problem is that good people wont do that, and bad people side with republicans so the only side thatl get hurt is as the headline describes.
I emotionally agree with you, but really the problem is that… anyone could do that in the future. Denying someone owed care because of political belief is a horrendous situation to explicitly allow, regardless of political affiliation.
Just like how the law equally prevents the rich and the poor from sleeping under bridges.
That’s how it is in “both-sides” lala land but it’s always going to be the pro-fascist side that abuses it the most
Sure, it’s just important to recognize when abuse happens in the absence of law, and when abuse is law, as it would be for a law targeting Democrats and unmarried explicitly.
Everything’s politics mfs when I refuse to treat them bcs they don’t like garlic
In theory you are correct, but you are dangerously wrong in practice.
