No commentary, no nothing. Just a link. Why? Because it's 9:30 at night and I'm tired.

The only thing I will say is that the person in the article is wrong in some parts. Emergency service cannot be refused. There are significant loopholes one has to jump through in order to become a conscientious objector. Also, the bill makes provisions for if there is no other service available.

I'm not challenging the good or bad of the bill, only pointing out that the author is being more alarmist than might be necessary.
