US health agency finalizes controversial 'religious freedom' rule

The rule will be effective 60 days from its final publication and enforced by the agency's Office of Civil Rights.

"This rule ensures that healthcare entities and professionals won't be bullied out of the healthcare field because they decline to participate in actions that violate their conscience, including the taking of human life," he said.

NBCOUT I have never been given the option to throw patients out of my clinic who start spouting Trump’s racist, hate filled bullshit. Do I have that option now?

NBCOUT Jesus would care for LGBTQ people.

NBCOUT Under trump the best thing anyone can do regardless of sex, age, race, religion or income is lie on all hospital paperwork. Straight, Over 50, White, Male, Conservative Evangelical Christian, Income $1 million annually. That should cove all their antiquated idiotic rules.

NBCOUT I am a Christian, and this is disturbing. Jesus told his followers to treat others the way you wish to be treated, and to love one another. His message was positive. Our sick society has twisted the Bible to preach hatred. Vile.

NBCOUT Same medical groups charging extortion for health endorsements

NBCOUT The Hippocratic oath - first do no harm.
