    I work in an ER. The “moral injury” argument is absolutely asinine. Almost everything we do causes moral injury. Ever taken care of a drunk driver who killed an entire family? I have. and you have to treat them equally with the standard of care. Ever taken care of someone from a prison who was convicted of sexual abuse of a child? I have. How many suicides do you see a month? I see a few. Everything I do causes moral injury. It’s a part of the job

      I agree, and thank you for providing a broader perspective! These doctors in the suit seem to care more about themselves than about their patients, which is very frustrating to me. It seems as though they have lost their moral compass and the reason for being there (or never had it to begin with). Hospital staff are there primarily for the patients, not the other way around. A patient being rushed into the ER didn't choose to be there; the staff did, they could choose another job if their morals don't involve helping people in need. They should be careful about being all high and mighty, because they never know if one day the tables have turned and it's they who need help from the people they refuse to help now.

      The trial court and the appeals court said that the doctors did have standing. They were going to mess with the FDA's decision-making ability. The organizations behind the plaintiffs will try again. I imagine they'll try to find someone who had a side effect. That would give standing.

    As a doctor, you have choices. (I'm an MD. I know how this works.) So, if you have "strong religious beliefs" that prevent you from doing your job, you need to choose a different job. For example, if you object to caring for someone who might have had an abortion, then you shouldn't work where that's possible. If you might have to care for a transgender person or a homosexual person, then you shouldn't work where someone might be a person of that sort.

    It makes no sense to reject a challenge to a law because those bringing the challenge weren't themselves harmed by the law. All that should be required to establish harm is proof that harm is being produced, irrespective of who is harmed. In this case the Court should have upheld the law because the reasons brought by the challenge fail, not reject the challenge's legality because of lack of 'standing'.

    The requirement of 'standing' - - that a challenge to a law must be brought by people harmed by the law - - is wrong. For at least two reasons: 1. Those harmed are typically poor, disadvantaged, disempowered, without the resources or support to bring a challenge. 2. Harm is often statistically distributed across a population, such that there are not specific individuals identifiable as having been harmed.
