ORIGINAL: DesideriScuri I don't have a problem with informed consent laws, provided the information given is based in science, and not just rhetoric/propaganda. While it's true that it's your body, aren't the best decisions made when you have the most accurate information? There is a difference between being given a risk assessment of a medical procedure and being made to submit to political/religious propaganda. My slut is a nurse and we talked about this at great length today. Informed Consent is supposed to deal in factual information regarding the procedure being undertaken, anything outside of exact science is unnecessary. I agree completely. quote:
I am truly fascinated with the legal aspect of this quandary. What are the States going to do? If they allow this exemption based on the religious objection to it, then doesn't that open doors for people to object to even more things based on their religion, or lack thereof? This whole religious freedom thing must also include the ability to choose to not have a religion and still be protected by the same laws. Will this cause Atheists to form an official religion with science as their God? I don't think the Supreme Court ever really expected this, well, except for Ginsburg. If the States enforce it, then it sets up a challenge in court that the Satanists will likely win. When they do, that then opens the door further for more civil actions in court to claim exemptions. What a fucked up situation that one court decision has created. I am stocking up on popcorn.  I disagree that's it's a fucked up situation, though. But, I'm also opposed to forcing a business to pay for their employee's benefits, too. I think it's a good thing for them to do, but I'd much rather they make the decision on their own, rather than because of the threat of government action against them.
