South Carolina House Approves Bill Allowing Doctors To Deny Care Based On Their Personal Religious Beliefs
So if a doctor doesn’t want to treat colored folk that would be OK. What about the people with red hair because they are icky folk? When does the right of quality healthcare take a back seat to bigotry? Oh yes when it is Christians needed to discriminate so they demand the right to refuse to help / treat a patient in medical need. God before helping the sick and caring for the needy, was that what old Jesus said? See if they are of the right political party and follow your church doctrines before you give medical aid was a verse I never learned was in the bible.
Changing America reports:
South Carolina lawmakers on Friday passed a bill allowing medical professionals and insurance companies to deny care based on personal belief. Some say the legislation, which now heads to the state Senate for consideration, would disproportionately impact LGBTQ+ people, women, and people of color.
Under the bill, titled the “Medical Ethics and Diversity Act,” South Carolina law would be altered to excuse medical practitioners, health care institutions and health care payers from providing care that violates their “conscience.”
Dozens of state residents in February testified against the bill, calling it vague and overbroad. They also shared concerns that the legislation would disproportionately impact marginalized communities.
From the Human Rights Campaign:
HB 4776 allows healthcare institutions to refuse to provide care, even when it is medically necessary and in the best interest of the patient. Under this legislation, healthcare institutions will be able to refuse to refer, teach, and research any items they deem to be against their beliefs.
These bills will impact access to gender-affirming care, contraceptives, HIV medications, fertility care, end of life care, and mental health services, as well as allow insurance companies and employers to refuse to reimburse, pay, or contract for medically necessary services.
Religious freedom is a fundamental American value that is entirely compatible with providing quality, non-discriminatory healthcare. It is not a license to deprive others of their rights simply because of personal beliefs.
This bill sends the message that those seeking medical care in conflict with their doctor’s non-medical values are not equal members of society entitled to dignity and respect.

This is not a family in Ukraine. This is a picture of a family in the US trying to survive by living in a large old van. This is what some kids going to school deal with. This is why reducing free meals is so horrible. This is parents trying to work to keep their children fed and clothed yet can not afford the cost of housing in the US. In some areas rents rose by 66%. Yes that number is true. How can anyone deal with this? Why is the wealthy allowed to profit from the misery of families?

We are a sick country.
#HomeSchool is a snowflake factory.
Republican men write laws to punish everyone EXCEPT Republican men.
Republicans are all about reactionary politics. The are unable to compete with reality and need endless conspiracies and synthetic nostalgia to cope.
Obstruction of justice.
Everything Trump is corrupt. Everything.
Republicans eliminate precedent all the time. SCOTUS wants to overturn decided cases like Roe v Wade. Why would the worst president of all time, who personifies obstruction of justice, benefit from precedent?

“The average citizen views today’s Supreme Court as highly politicized because we all saw what our politicians did to it. The Republican political hardball, and the brazen dishonesty that was used to justify it, Trumpified the court with three out of nine justices — one stolen from the first Black president, one rammed through just days before the 2020 election, and one with a surprise resignation. Now, no one is shocked that a court forged with such political bad faith is making bad decisions with nakedly political overtones.”—
The Supreme Court has a giant legitimacy crisis, which means so does America
This illegitimate SCOTUS majority does not interpret laws. They abuse their power to impose their regressive, revanchist, theocratic will on a population that does not respect them, did not vote for them, and has no way at all to hold them accountable.
I don’t know how, but this has to change.
Just when you think the three new judges are the worst, Clarence makes sure you know he is horrible, too.
Russia owns the Republican Party.

Misleading right wing media cartoons / memes
What the right calls sexual indoctrination is the idea that gay or trans people exist and are normal. The only parents the right wants to have a say are right wing maga parents, the rest of the parents get told to shut up. They are trying to win the culture war by making even the exposure to LGBTQ+ people illegal. Even though kids are exposed to straight couples and straight sexuality all the time. So it is not about the sexual indoctrination of kids, it is about the idea they hate anyone different from them and don’t want kids to know about them until they have been taught to hate them.
Because this is not happening! It is a lie and misinformation from those that are anti-trans or using it as a political wedge issue. Men are not suddenly deciding they are not good enough to win in a sport as a man so will up-end their lives and face unending discrimination to live their life as a woman so they can compete as a female to win. Where the fuck to start to explain how stupid this idea is. First if a guy is not good enough to win against male competitors it is doubtful that after they take the necessary treatments to qualify to play on a women team they would win there either. Second what guy who is a male gender is going to stop his entire way of life that makes him happy and start living in a way that will make life harder for him and could cost him his entire sexual enjoyment / life. How is he going to date the girls he likes if he is not the man he was but a girl like them? If he was in to men who liked men, they wont date him because he is a girl now. So he is giving up that. How about his family, are they OK with it? How about his political friends, if Republican he loses all them. This is why the idea of guys just claiming to be girls falls apart and is not happening. Think it through people. If it was a huge problem it would be happening every day in every sport, and it is not. If all the trans women were winning all the awards, setting all the records, and winning every event it would be daily news. But it isn’t because they are not. Look at the scores, look at the totality of the wins, look at the awards. Most often the trans person is working harder and has less support, and only sometimes wins. The records are still held by non trans women. It is simply bigotry. Sort of like when black people were allowed to play sport with white people. It was said white people couldn’t win anymore. Yet they do. They still play and they still win.
Oh, haha, it’s totally the Fed’s fault, even though CEOs are BRAGGING about their record profits they’ve “earned” by hiking prices across the board for everything under the sun. The GQP is having a sh*tfit over gas prices. They would do the same if Biden did anything to stop Big Oil’s obscene profiteering. The same for every other issue today.

Use tax revenues to rebuild America. Increase tax rates on the uber-wealthy for poisoning our society for decades with their greed.
Republicans and conservatives have created a world where all their crimes go unmentioned on their own media. Then those crimes are projected in their rivals.
It is marge Greene for those wondering. She mistakenly said Gazpacho when she meant Gestapo.
Ethics? Integrity? The Thomas’ only have their hyper-partisan lies and corruption.

The Republicans tried to have a gotcha moment and a sound bite for right wing media. KBJ did not give it to them as she is far smarter than they are. But her answer was true, legally what a woman is doesn’t follow what the average maga cult member thinks a woman is. For them if it has inside sex parts if is female. That is their criteria. They go on looks, it is pretty and has boobs so much be a woman. That stupidity I thought was long behind us, but the education system in the US has been hijacked to promote right wing ideology instead of reasoning and research.
The right wing wants you to think that what Biden said was a gaff. I don’t think it was. I think it was planned, and so was the statements afterwords. Biden got to put a lot of emotion, a lot of outrage into the speech exciting the world and getting people talking about what he was saying without doing any real harm. Biden gets to look tough, look morally angry at the harm to the people. He looked good, and that the right hates.
Do you ever notice that right after tRump gives an off the wall outrageous speech or sends out a crazy press release the right wing media immediately tries to portray Biden as out of touch and as a doddering old man. I think it is more right wing projection.
Putin, who sent death squads into a neighboring country to assassinate their leader whilst simultaneously invading that country without provocation, is sure having a hissy fit because someone said something to offend his fragile ego. The Republicans are getting nervous because Biden is saying some of the things that they expect a Republican to say and it may play well with part of their base.

Employers do not like if a person calls off sick, and most people no longer have paid sick time.
Tax the megarich. A lot. They have exploited the system they created for far too long.

We all know Putin wants to destroy Biden, the whole of fucking NATO, the EU, and all related organizations and officials. But we can’t say he needs to stop being President!!!!
It’s absurd.
We people are asked ‘what are the happiest moments in your life’, a big answer is the walkable campuses of their youth/early adulthood.

Biological sex, gender identification, and sexual orientation are 3 SEPARATE things…
Unlike what some people say… rarely is any one of them a choice.
Usually, you’re born with a preponderance of male or female sexual characteristics.
And the doctor, midwife, and parents agree that the baby is male or female.
Occasionally, that’s not true… some characteristics are not visible at birth, or look confusing, so a choice must be made…
There can be mistakes.
Gender identity is what you feel you are inside.
It’s NOT a choice.
It’s gross injustice to declare that YOU know who is absolutely male or female by looking,
and that the way they react to their own instincts, hormones, and perhaps even hidden sexual characteristics, is a CHOICE they’re making, which you, a stranger, can ignore, comment on, or even overrule.
And then there’s sexual orientation…
Which is NOT a choice either.
Was yours? You know which way you’re attracted.
Imagine someone telling YOU that your real attraction is the opposite!
I happen to be a straight female. I know it, and I’m glad, cos no one tries to tell me I’m really a lesbian….
but if I were a lesbian, I wouldn’t need you saying I just haven’t met the right man.
Almost no one would willingly choose to reject societal gender norms, just to be different or to make a statement.
For most, it’s a painful path, certainly not a lark.
Whether you’re male or female, or anywhere in between…. inside and/or outside…
does NOT automatically determine the sex or gender to which you’re attracted…
Hormones are not that simple.
I’ve known lots of gay people and a few trans people… none of them have decided to whom to be attracted… they just ARE.
In times past, this was not accepted… but we’re learning
It’s a big world.
Make room.

She declined to become entangled in verbal traps. Anything else? Yawn. The Cons. are pissed that she is much smarter than they are. The point is that her job isn’t to define things. Her job is to interpret and rule on the law when presented with evidence and arguments in court. Cases which come before the Supreme Court are not going to be simple ones. They will be cases which challenge the edges of established definitions. Asking a candidate to decide without first hearing the arguments in a particular case is basically asking them if they would like to disqualify themselves for the position.
