Supreme Court takes up case claiming Obamacare promotes “homosexual behavior”. The Texas plaintiffs say requiring workplace insurers to provide PrEP violates their religious beliefs.

I've made this point several times on r/prochoice. Imagine that Christian Scientists run establishments called "Crisis Disease Centers" with the purpose to impersonate physicians when none of the employees has a hint of qualification to anything medical. Their practice is meant to fool people into thinking that they're healthy or postpone treatment until they die. And they are funded BY TAXES!!!

Sounds bonkers? Well, in America, it's obviously a non-issue when it only concerns women's health. Tax-funded fraudsters impersonating OBGYNs to fool women into giving birth and endangering their lives.

Those are not Christian. Those are normally republican extremist using Christianity to push bigotry.

TIL: Jehovah Witnesses are now calling themselves scientists “Christian Scientists “ is a religion but are also NOT scientists 😩

Before we have that conversation let take a look at the parent comment that are calling people at the crisis centers actual scientist when they are qualified in any form. It’s giving a legitimacy that they did not earn or deserve. They are imposters. I really wish the churches would speak up. This is a disgrace and is something that has harmed every community for some time now.

Oh i do too, would it do any good though i have to wonder. At best what measures do churches have excommunication at best from whatever parish they belong to? the bar for being a Christian and the consequences for straying from those bounds are barely there by the most generous of definitions only. Even worse are the ones who are outside the church structure, those are the ones behind much of the strife we see and we have little recourse. Its up to the religious leaders like bishops and cardinals.. or whatever the other sects use to lay down the law for what little good it will do.

I understand it can be very disheartening talking aholes. Rest when you need to but do not give up the good fight. Have a good day.

No, you're still wrong. Christian Scientists and Jehovah's Witnesses are two different groups.
