The 2025 Medical Ethics Defense Act allows physicians to deny care to patients whose lifestyles they disagree with
“It’s absolutely not ‘pro-life’ — and not very Christian either,” said Rep. Gloria Johnson (D-Knoxville), as she shared the woman’s story after the town hall. “And who else are they not going to treat? I had a friend say: what about someone who’s addicted to drugs or alcohol, or who’s struggling with mental health? If you can just refuse treatment to anyone whose lifestyle you disagree with — that’s not medical ethics. That’s fascism.”
Its just like any other super henious piece of legislation that removes human rights. They give it some sweet helpful sounding name (eg. Patriot Act) so when anyone votes against it they can point fingers and say “THIS COMMUNIST HATES PATRIOTS!” or (eg. Kids Online Safety Act) “THIS EVIL BASTARD DOESNT WANT TO PROTECT KIDS!!!”
It’s because the individual is more important than the community. I suppose you can call it the Harold Shipman clause of medical ethics.
You see, according to US doctrine, you are the only person that matters. Therefore, if you let other people die for fun, it’s okay. They’re part of the community, not you, the individual.

Also “we know you’ll do precisely ZERO to stop us.”
Sounds like an attack on medical ethics to me, how is that a defense?

Its a fascist habit as old as time itself.

Don’t worry, they’ll care about the fetus when charges can be brought against the woman for neglect.
