    “It is immoral to provide health care, because that’s in defiance of God’s will.”

      So are doctors who won’t morally treat a police officers gunshot wounds.

      I see this being repealed in record time.

            Oh sorry I meant I’m not even a doctor, let alone in Tennessee, haha.

            My friend is though and recently got a $500k+ base pay with other incentives offer to go to Indiana - but they said no.

    That’s not what the Hippocratic Oath says. I know it’s just smoke and mirrors, but that oath still means something. Any doctor who would disregard it should not be trusted with your health, and should not be practicing medicine at all.

      And yet already, doctors have been letting women in Texas and other states die mid-complex-birth-trouble for fear of losing their license. The moral code of life, at least in America, is long gone in many states.
