Refusing a medically necessary and requested procedure is in fact a violation of the Hippocratic oath. It’s literally against what health care workers are supposed to do. It’s incredible to me that we’re still humoring these assholes in 2017, but welcome to the reign of unchecked GOP dominance, I guess. This is what…

Ever work reception? You’d probably hate people too eventually

There are MDs and nurses who refuse to do abortions - and med students and OB/Gyn and family medicine residents who refuse to be trained to do abortions even though there are times when it would literally save a woman’s life and not even knowing how to perform one would lead to the death of a patient.

This isn’t just about customer service. If you have any job that deals with the public, you discover that people are awful. There are various ways to respond to that. Most people figure out how to make peace with it or find purpose in their jobs anyway or at least to take the path of least resistance by grinning and…

Yup. The only person who ever hardcore tried to convince me to have children was my gyn. At first, I thought it was just because he was also an ob and would make more money. But then I found out he was a conservative christian so I wondered if there was some women’s duties stuff going on there.

Next thing you know it will be ok to refuse treatment to people with skin colors you don’t actually care for.

Careful, there. Republicans AND Democrats AND every other political party suffer from the same weakness: they’re staffed by corruptible humans. Just because the Koch brothers bought the Republicans... root, stalk and branch... doesn’t mean that the Democrats are immune to dirty money.
Wish, instead, for candidates who…

It will absolutely be the doctors, nurses and pharmacists who will deny service. Ask any trans person about their impossible search for health care workers who treat them like human beings.

Heh. Some ‘Satanists’ are actually very thoughtful and compassionate individuals out there, especially the ones who use the ‘Satanic’ label as a way to rebel against ‘religious bigotry’.
I’m only sorry that no one in that class called the teacher out for his own bigotry and asked ‘And you, sir? Would you be willing to…

Maybe because they lack the motivation to learn a genuinely skilled trade (like surgery or underwater welding or whittling). Or maybe they just can’t accept that dealing with people as part of a job requires constant adjustment of their own attitudes and perceptions.

Continuing to act like a Republican does not make Flake’s outcry hypocritical;

Jeff Flake just wants the GOP to be more genteel about its racism and classism.

It’s our election to lose. It’s high time to leave 2016 in the past and look to the future. Fighting the last election isn’t going to get any more (I)‘s or (D)‘s in congress in 2018. Idiots like Manning muddying up the waters will not help either.

I’m hoping beyond hope that we get a Democratically-controlled government in 2018, and add to that a Dem president in 2020. I’m going to squeal with joy when the purge of Trump’s administration hits.

McCain fought long and hard against the MLK holiday. His end-of-life rehabilitation is a total shitwash.

Please vote this November...Please vote this November

And these are usually the same people who can’t understand how atheists can be moral people without the fear of god smiting them for their actions.

He does these speeches and then votes with the rest of the lemmings every time.

“The argument I keep hearing—that Flake and others are insincere in their criticisms because they “vote with Trump” or “supported Trump’s tax plan”—is frankly ridiculous; Trump has no set ideologies or policy plans or ideas about anything, much less taxes, and voting “with Trump” is for the most part a meaningless…

i love that the guy who says that “truth—objective, empirical, evidence-based truth” is being attacked, is also the same person who doesn’t believe in global warming.
