Is even this politicized?
The answer is yes. They are treating ours and our children’s lives as nothing more than pawns.
And of course, when the Republicans do heinous shit, they also make sure to shut down or suppress the institutions that are responsible for keeping track of and reporting this information. All so they can have a few more of those green papers and have enough plausible deniability to not disgust their base into turning against them.
Fuck these people. And fuck the doctors too that follow these bullshit laws they know are morally wrong. Just fucking sitting on their hands and letting people fucking die for no good reason. I hope they never get good sleep for the rest of their lives, knowing they could and should have done more.
Nope, I didn’t say that.
I’m saying these people should operate by the oath they made to do no harm. I’m saying I wish someone would take a stand and help someone that needs it, so they don’t just sit there and die for no good reason.
If they lose their license and go to jail for helping someone, then the laws are truly unjust and should not be followed. Maybe it would bring more attention to this shit instead of just letting people die, having our institutions not report it, and only a small handful of people ever seeing this article. Maybe there would be a lot more articles about the doctor that got arrested for saving someone’s life. And if people can’t get the care from that physician that was arrested for saving someone’s life, that is the state’s problem. It’s not the Doctors fault for sticking to the words they swore everyone they would live by. Maybe something would happen instead of everyone just sitting idly by and letting shit keep getting worse. Maybe one Doctor inspires more Doctors to do the same. They can’t arrest all the Doctors.
If I was a doctor in one of these states, I would absolutely risk my career for this. Wouldn’t you? It is cowardice not to. If they want to arrest all the Doctors and cause the rest to flee the state, leaving their citizens vulnerable, that is the state’s fault for pushing this archaic bullshit down our throats. They should have thought of the consequences before passing laws telling doctors to stop giving people healthcare! In my opinion, doctors being scared to lose their licenses and just letting people die instead shouldn’t be doctors anymore.
