In 2019, a British judge ruled in favor of forcing a mentally disabled woman to have an abortion. In this egregious case, the woman was 22 weeks pregnant. Her mother had offered to raise and care for the child, saying an abortion violated her and her daughter’s beliefs. Nevertheless, the judged ruled to force the woman to abort against her will. Fortunately, the decision was later overruled.
Before the judge’s verdict was overturned, a woman identifying herself as a mental health professional and therapist tweeted in favor of the forced abortion:
Another Twitter user suggested that pro-lifers might avoid going to this therapist, and she said, “it’s ok, I’m not really interested in having anti-abortion bigots as clients thanks.”
This attitude from a health care worker is troubling. Mental health professionals are not supposed to screen their clients based on their political views. If a pro-life person has a mental illness or just needs a therapist to cope with stressors in their lives, they should not have to worry about being mistreated or denied care due to their beliefs. This is no different than another health professional, such as a doctor or surgeon, refusing to treat a pro-life person.
The rest of the conversation went as follows:
There was no further response.
Clearly, unless the therapist asks each potential patient “are you pro-life?” when she first meets them, a scenario like the above could easily happen. A pro-life person struggling with mental health issues doesn’t deserve to be mistreated or abandoned by a health care provider due to his or her commitment to protecting preborn babies.
Turning away a patient in need, or flat out abandoning one, is clearly wrong and unprofessional.
In many rural areas, there are a limited number of mental health professionals available. A patient’s insurance also limits the providers they can see. Turned away by one therapist, it may not be easy to find another.
Discrimination against pro-lifers in health care is unacceptable. Any pro-lifer who believes they have been denied health care due to their pro-life beliefs should file a complaint with the state Board of Health.
This “therapist” is illustrative of the people who go into the field of psychology hoping to heal themselves. She has no business treating anyone.
It is sadly the poor women who get sucked into the evil Satanism of abortion that suffer mental illness for the rest of their lives
The crime is that they’re told her”
if you just kill your baby you’ll be free”
It was for marriage counseling and my ex-wife is a kumbya libtard that, whenever I griped about H1-B visa workers killing the pay in my profession, told me that it wasn’t true.
She swallowed the “Diversity is strength” pill among other things so I kicked her to the curb.
The baby and pregnancyphobia is a freaking epidemic amongst young women nowadays. THey are more afraid of the baby than the pimp who abandons them and their health care when pregnant. It is surreal.
It hinges on the cultivation of the feminine narcissist myth that if she gives her body, she has given her soul, heart and wealth to a man, which is garbage. There is much more involved in caring for a person and a baby than merely loaning your uterus and body for it. We should go back to “tradition”/sanity whereby there are legal protection against this kind of double fraud, that of the prostitute and that of the pimp abandoning all “pregnant with child support”.
Only married men who support families and taxpayers get the easy reach of lazy entitled government and these harppies. RApists in court have it better than a man divorcing or marrying nowadays in the legal eye and the women’s perception eye. IT is disgusting in light that the elites and celebs do the exact opposite of what they tell their stupid fans to do.
