nurse resigns after controversial tweet

[Demovictory9]

I prescribe meds.. I can also choose not to prescribe them,” the nurse, identified online as Shawna Harris, allegedly tweeted, according to screenshots. “So from now on.. if you are a white male who votes conservative, your penis needs to ask God for the power to rise. No more Viagra.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL. (TND) — A nurse who tweeted she was going to start basing her prescribing methods on her patient’s political and religious affiliations has resigned.

“A Sarah Bush Lincoln Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN), who posted a discriminatory message on social media over the weekend, has resigned,” the Sarah Bush Lincoln Health (SBLH) Center in Lincoln, Illinois, said in a statement following backlash over the nurse's tweet.

1. Not the best bolsterer of job security

But funny—I hope she thinks it was worth it.

2. Wait a minute. The United States Government is now effectively telling women to

hope and pray they do not get pregnant if they don't want to raise a child, including in extreme circumstances like rape, incest and threat to the life of the mother. Because those women are not allowed to get the medical care they need in those circumstances. And those denying that care are now doing it to protect their job security.

But this nurse can't say that the demographic of men who support this and elected the people who made it happen should not have Viagra? Should not make it that much more likely that these women will be put into a dire situation? Because that destroys her job security.

I don't find this funny. I find this logical. It's what should happen.

I hope someone else hires her.

5. Not the United States government

Six jurists of varying competence and sincerity who adhere to a radical politico-religious agenda that most historians would find as typifying 15th century southern Europe.

3. I'd have kept my plans to myself.
