„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“.
While I’m very against the executive order they describe, the headline is misleading:
So they can also refuse to treat e.g. republicans and married veterans.
Just like how the law equally prevents the rich and the poor from sleeping under bridges.
In theory you are correct, but you are dangerously wrong in practice.
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
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.
I emotionally agree with you, but really the problem is that… anyone could do that in the future. Denying someone owed care because of political belief is a horrendous situation to explicitly allow, regardless of political affiliation.
