Something I do not understand. Why does she have to go out of state? Why not go to another doctor within the state? Is this doctor allegedly refusing to treat her that only prenatal doctor within her state?

A true Christian doctor would never refuse to care for a pregnant woman and her unborn child because she’s unwed.

Has this story been verified?

"Tennessee's vague conscience protections offer an avenue for legal discrimination."

There are any number of rainbow haired doctors in the state flying the transgender flag, who would be happy to treat her.

The only thing I believe about this story is that Blackburn and Hagerty wouldn’t talk to her. Been there; done that. They treat their constituents rudely.

So what? If a doctor discriminates against you, go see another.

“in a new tab or window” Found this inserted randomly 14 times in this article. Whew!””

You’re right. Apparently NO ONE looked at the article in the link...that phrase is not in the original article. Proof reading is a lost art...Makes it more difficult to even concentrate on what the article is/was about. I have no interest in continuing to read after the first few errors and they are errors in posting.

“Hard to imagine Christ would have turned her away.”

True. At the very least they could help those they reject find a doctor that would treat them.

I very much get the idea of not requiring a doctor to participate in abortion, or IVF, even though I don’t have any problem with IVF. You shouldn’t be able to force a doctor to participate in sex changes and things like that. But a pregnant woman looking for a doctor, I just can’t imagine turning her away.

Also, in this day and age, we have to be extra careful that this is not like a Bubba Wallace noose kind of fake story.
