RACHEL WELLS JUL 18, 2025 Exclusive: Pregnant Woman in Tennessee Denied Care for Being Unmarried The 2025 Medical Ethics Defense Act allows physicians to deny care to patients whose "lifestyles" they disagree with Last night at a town hall in Jonesborough, Tennessee, a woman shared her story: she was denied prenatal care by her OB-GYN because the doctor objected to the fact that she isn't married. She's been with her partner for 15 years and has a 13-year-old child. The doctor told her that because she was unwed, they didn't feel comfortable treating her because it went against their "Christian values." Now, she's traveling out of state to Virginia to receive prenatal care.

This is exactly what Republicans were counting on. Earlier this year, the state passed the 2025 Medical Ethics Defense Act, which gives physicians, and even insurers, the legal right to deny care to patients based on any religious, moral, or ethical belief. There are no protections for people in rural areas with limited options. There's no requirement to refer patients elsewhere. And there's no legal recourse. The woman at the town hall explained that her representatives are not responsive to her questions, even as she repeatedly calls Sen. Marsha Blackburn. When she reached staff at Sen. Bill Hagerty's office, they told her, "he's not obligated to listen to his constituents."

It was NEVER about protecting but always about punishing women.

In the wake of what Judge Dugan did (100% legal), now is a good time for everyone to know what she knows:

An immigration or administrative warrant is *not* a judicial warrant. You are not obliged to obey it. Indeed, you can let the person out the back door. docs.google.com/presentation...

Cruelty is their agenda

Like before the proposed removal of Roe vs Wade and Project 2025......

This is facts!!!

The way I randomly think about this photo...

Tweet by Arieh Kovler mocking reactions to Trump's tariff plans. It summarizes Trump openly supporting massive tariffs, Harris warning they’ll harm the economy, and Bill Ackman later claiming no one could have foreseen them. Included is Ackman’s tweet expressing disappointment and calling the tariffs unforeseeable.

The only people worse than Trump are his lackeys and apologists.

Multiple maternal and child health programs have been eliminated or hollowed out as part of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) layoffs, prompting alarm and disbelief among advocates working to make Americans healthier. The fear and anxiety come as a full accounting of the cuts remains elusive. Federal health officials have released only broad descriptions of changes to be made, rather than a detailed accounting of the programs and departments being eviscerated

Pediatricians, myself included, are losing sleep at night - worried about the health of the nation's children," said Dr Sue Kressly, president of the American Academy of Pediatrics. "The one that stands out to me is the Maternal and Child Health Bureau. There is no way to make our country healthier by eliminating expertise where it all starts, and it all starts at maternal and child health." The health secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr, announced HHS would eliminate 10,000 jobs as part of a restructuring plan. Together with cuts already made by Elon Musk's unofficial "department of government efficiency", HHS is likely to lose 20,000 workers - roughly one-quarter of its workforce.

All Democrat leadership has to do to make this accurate is stand by and do nothing. Don't do that. Do something!
