McMaster will sign bill allowing medical providers to deny care based on beliefs [View all]
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WBTW) – South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster will sign a bill that allows medical providers to deny care based on religious beliefs, according to a spokesperson with the governor’s office.
McMaster is expected to sign the bill Friday afternoon, according to Brian Symmes.
House Bill 4776, also known as the "Medical Ethics and Diversity Act," states “A medical practitioner, health care institutions, and health care payers have the right not to participate in or pay for any health care service which violates the practitioner’s or entity’s conscience.”
The bill also protects those same health care providers from civil or criminal liability as well as discrimination, with some exceptions. The law does not override federal laws or regulations that require health care providers to issue emergency medical treatment to all patients.

Maybe they should find a different profession if being a doctor conflicts with their beliefs.
