I see something even more risky in the text of the proposed law/whatever it is. Basically, if I was a health care professional, and someone I didn't like came into the emergency room, they could be assigned to me. Because I chose not to help them, because I think their policies on the energy crisis will hurt a lot of people, I can not treat them and they may perhaps die. Oh. well, bummer that.

It's not just birth control/contraception/women's rights that are being infringed upon with this bill. It's having others' views on the "Do Not Resusistate" or "They're old, they're a burden to society, I don't want to waste the hospital's money on these folk who likely won't pay their bill anyway" that will be ruling the health care industry.
