This is a good thing. Then the state/feds can't MAKE a doctor or hospital perform a proceedure against their moral or religious convictions.
This is illegal in South Dakota. And this is a pressing argument among many other states. This is still in question and not a federal law. Regardless, you are only debating half of my argument.
