„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“.
They appear to think Title 9 doesn’t affect the VA, which it definitionally does. Even their hand picked justice Gorsuch says refusing treatment while taking government funds for gay people is discriminating against their sex. EG: Carol can marry a man, but Jimmy can’t, so this is sex discrimination against the employee.
While I’m very against the executive order they describe, the headline is misleading:
Language requiring healthcare professionals to care for veterans regardless of their politics and marital status has been explicitly eliminated.
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
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.
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
Because OFC, lets just add more harm
