Can we make this a law?

Partisans have to follow ideological discipline... if conservative, you must:

not get vaccines
Not have abortions
Not be allowed subsidized food or health care
Follow all tenets of your Christian religion
Etc.....

I knew at least 10 Conservative people who are now dead because of their devotion to the prosperity gospel. Problem is, once they were too sick for it to matter, they begged for medical attention, which you and I paid for.

I bet rich conservatives aren't. Because for them it's just a grift and they will get the newest stemcell medicine as fast as possible regardless.

Both of my conservative parents died because they ignored their doctors and thought they knew better than professionals.

Best to let this problem sort itself out.
