Something something publicly funded.

Catholic hospitals are free to exclude as they please, and regularly excercise that right and yet receive funding the same as any hospital. That second story is an example of them refusing emergency services to a woman in a life-threatening situation, so there isn't even a grey area about it only happening with non-emergency procedures.

And I am not aware of any conservative politicians, whether they're a twitter talking head or an actual politician, that are opposed to these rules around catholic hospitals.

Something something publicly funded.

Pure mushmouth retardation. "Gender affirming"? FFS. It's a fucking sex change op. Completely elective, and there are still plenty of options for getting it done. This ain't even in the same league. If I was a mushmouth retard like you, I would just say "whataboutism." But, I'm not, and I won't. That argument is even more retarded than you're terrible illogical mess.

So not only did you shift the goalpost from "a publicly funded institution denying a taxpayer service is always bad" to "a publicly funded institution denying a taxpayer service is only bad if it's life threatening". Great.

Not only have we moved the goalposts but we've now willfuly ignored the second article I posted of a woman being denied a LIFE SAVING operation due to deadly complications with her miscarriage, and the subsequent paragraph I posted afterwards.

Why even reply if you're a dishonest mouthbreather?

Just because you disagree doesn't mean I'm lowering the pyramid. Get real

No, it doesn’t. And yet you are.
