    Not being married doesn’t make her less pregnant. What the hell do these people think they’re doing for a living – are they gonna take care of potential babies, or are they there to preach?

      It’s about propagating the religion- the lives of the people are unimportant. The religion grows by enforcing a set of customs, and anyone who doesn’t comply is threatened with ostracism or violence

      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.”

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

          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!!!”

          Its a fascist habit as old as time itself.

          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.

      Well America has always been the home of the free. Its in their national anthem and a huge part of their cultural identity.

      For example, you’re free to perform your own bodily functions such a procreation in any way you wish, provided that you’re participating in a state sanctioned marriage, and that you belong to a demographic which is desirable to the state, and that your DNA does not contain any markers for undesirable traits, and that you express continued loyalty to the supreme leader eternal.

      Its such an enlightened way of life.

    She really should do a crowdfunding and get the heck out of there. Tennessee is trying to kill her and her child.

      How would you solve this problem?

      • Crowdfund participants will want to verify her identity
      • If her identity is exposed, she might get murdered for Jesus

    She wasn’t even “promiscuous”. That absolutely shouldn’t Legally matter and doesn’t morally matter at all, but the physician wasn’t even going for low hanging fruit: she had been with the same man for 15 years and they had a 13yo together?? They were essentially married. Stfu dumb ass physician.

    I hope it goes all the way to the Supreme Court (not that she should have to) and I like to think if I ever met said physician I would suddenly recieve divine intervention that, morally, no doctors should have Achilles tendons.
