Re: HHS Religous Freedom exemption - This may actually a bit more insidious than you mentioned on the show. As one article put it "This is the use of religion to hurt people because you disapprove of who they are," said Harper Jean Tobin of the National Center for Transgender Equality. "Any rule that grants a license to discriminate would be a disgrace and a mockery of the principal of religious freedom we all cherish." (<a href="https://www.politico.com/story/2018/01/16/conscience-abortion-transgender-patients-health-care-289542)." rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.politico.com/story/2018/01/16/conscience-abortion-transgender-patients-health-care-289542).</a> LGBT rights were even mentioned in your original article. This after a 2015 case where a pediatrician legally refused to help the child of a lesbian couple (<a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/02/18/doctor-discrimination-baby/23642091/)" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/02/18/doctor-discrimination-baby/23642091/)</a> shows that this will likely be used to allow people to discriminate against the LGBT community and also could be used to refuse any heath services to a woman who had had an abortion before, among other religious limitations that we can’t even begin to limit (racial, gender, or religous discrimination), especially if the care were to someone who the hospital might consider too expensive but couldn’t otherwise turn away (in the case of Medicaid, for instance). This is especially dangerous in rural areas where it would cause unserviced people to have to travel long distances to get necessary care.
