Thanks to new GOP law - TN woman denied medical care for being unmarried

I'm very sorry this woman went through this. It's despicable that Republican state legislators pass laws like this, and have the temerity to ignore constituents or even tell them they don't have to listen to them.

That being said, I have to wonder. Has this woman been voting in past state and federal elections? If so, which party's candidates has she been supporting? These questions shouldn't have to matter, but the plain truth is, right now they do matter and they're crucial. Americans need to wake up and realize we are in a legislative, cultural civil war. The war is Republicans against American democracy, our civil liberties, our freedom, and our fundamental rights.

Tennessee is ruby red and has been so for years. I have some family there. If this woman has not been voting, shame on her. If she's been voting for Republicans, then I'm not without empathy but she is getting the policies and treatment she voted to have inflicted on the rest of us (see: leopards are eating my face, etc.).

Absolutely disgusting.

We need a gay doctor to stop treating Christians...let their god decide if they should heal. Thoughts and Prayers, y'all!

I hope she told that doctor to go straight to hell.

Another reason not to disclose personal information.

Christians believe in denying medical care to pregnant mothers if they are unmarried.

If the girls hadn't annoyed everyone with their constant whining about sexual assault; if the gays hadn't held parades; if pronouns had stayed facts, not choices; if borders and boundaries had been enforced; if the traditional family was honored; if people just accepted Jesus as their personal savior, maybe, just maybe, these laws wouldn't be necessary! If you don't like it, move to some hellscape like Los Angeles or New York and enjoy the rats, animal and human.

I also blame PETA.

Scary.

The doctor should have been named. Take the fight directly to the " Christian."

Liberal doctors should refuse to treat MAGA voters

And if the "unborn child" needed medical intervention? Could the doctor be accused of causing an abortion?

There isn't a single doctor in her area that would treat an unmarried woman so she wouldn't have to go to Virginia?

Start publishing lists of health care practitioners who deny care for personal reasons so prospective patients can make informed decisions. .

The old harlot should have thought twice before opening her legs to a man outside of marriage.

That's what she gets for having sex with a man.

So Christlike!

The south is weird.

I can see what a problem this could be in a very remote and isolated place.. if this happened anywhere else I hope those denied would put those doctors on blast.

The doctor is obviously a fake Christian because Jesus nor the Heavenly Father would want you to deny critical medical care to a pregnant woman. These fake Christians needs to learn about one of the core tenets of Christianity “though shall not judge” and learn how to become a real Christians again. But then again the low vibrational doctor should probably separate church and state as every Christian lawyer has to do each and every day.

God I hate Tennessee! And I live in Brentwood (TN not LA)

Fortunately, Tennessee borders Virginia, so I hope she isn't traveling more than 50 miles to get to her new doctor. Imagine if Mary, the mother of Jesus, had told the original doctor that she was carrying the baby of someone other than her husband. So much for Christianity - cut off at the start.

Jesus healed people with demons inside them, for God's sake.

Yes, indeed, R19.

My philosophy is true Christianity needs to wrest itself from the heresy of Pauline "Christianity."

THIS is Christianity, and no one can ever tell me differently and make me believe it:

Imagine having a doctor who went to school for years and years, yet still believes in fairytales and feels a sense of superiority over other belief systems.
