How are those things different/mutually exclusive? This is literally a law, drafted and passed by politicians, that allowed someone’s “values” to be used to deny someone medical care. How isn’t this political?
The loss was due to judges pushed by Republican govt and Trump who had falsely declared that there is no overturning of the judgement when asked in their confirmation hearings. So even if the timing was off this was Trump’s doing.
…religious values* (values being a stand in for religious organizations bribing lobbying) politicians to pass laws enabling discrimination.
What does the word political mean to you? To take the most liberal (as in political affiliation) definition, this is the consequences of a law passed by elected leaders. This law was only allowed to take effect because an anti trans healthcare bill (also from Tennessee) was upheld by the supreme court. The contents of this article is entirely a consequence of our political process. If fascists weren’t actively promoting discrimination, this bill wouldn’t exist and this woman wouldn’t have been denied care she needed. Just because a law has the word “ethics” in it doesn’t mean it ceases to be political.
Even ignorning that, religion is political. Doubly so in America. We have politicians writing laws that religious leaders want. We have politicians writing laws alienating people due to them being non-chrisitan. We’re living through a fascist coup. Religion is a large part of fascism
You might need to try rereading or something. Your response seems to have completely ignored what I said. Reading this in response to my post is… Baffling.
I know it was really long, so I can understand missing this:
Trump’s America
To me it sounds more a religion (aka “”““values””“”) issue than a political one.

Well we didn’t lose Roe v Wade under trump…
So I’m not saying it isn’t political, but the person you responded to is more correct than OP, objectively.
It is less “Trump’s America” than it is the result of religious values.

Not saying it wasn’t.
Saying it is definitionally less accurate to call this Trump’s America than is to blame it on religion.
Both are accurate. One is more accurate.
It is Trump’s America only because inspite of what people might say America is far closer to be like Saudi Arabia than any Nordic countries.
