Gary,<br><br>Can you identify any Catholic hospitals that have been forced to perform abortions? Do you know of any trends leading to this outcome? Is there legislation forcing this?<br><br>Sunil<br><br><br><br>> From: jampot@roadrunner.com<br>> To: garrettmc@verizon.net; vision2020@moscow.com<br>> Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2009 07:59:51 -0700<br>> Subject: Re: [Vision2020] Walmart Gets Nod for Starting Work<br>> <br>> 1. My business is not located in Whitman county.<br>> <br>> 2. Predatory? All business competes with other business. This is the nature <br>> of the game. Will Idaho lose some tax revenue? Some, but probably not as <br>> much as you think. Those same tax dollars are lost when Idaho residents go <br>> to Spokane to shop or make purchases through the intertubes because what <br>> they seek is unavailable in Moscow.<br>> <br>> 3. Water. We've been over this one repeatedly. Whether it is delivered by <br>> the City of Moscow, pumped from private wells, or provided by the City of <br>> Pullman, it's all the same water. The folks who are working and shopping at <br>> the new mall would be using the same amount of water if they were working in <br>> Moscow, Pullman, Troy, or Colton. You don't uptake or download any more just <br>> because you're at the Hawkins development. I suspect that your vegetable <br>> production facility uses far more water than any individual business will <br>> and provides far fewer jobs. If the Hawkins property were to be turned into <br>> a truck farm the same argument you attempt to use applies. Competition with <br>> Moscow business. (you) No tax dollars for Idaho. Far higher water <br>> consumption. Perhaps you would prefer the land lay fallow?<br>> <br>> 4. I am willing to accept any legal, legitimate business operation located <br>> on private property in Latah or Whitman Co. Pullman or Moscow, miles away or <br>> right next door to my shop. Period.<br>> <br>> 5. I think that my answer regarding your questions concerning FOCA were to <br>> the point. One third of all hospitals in America are Catholic. If a doctor <br>> or nurse hired on with one of these facilities they would have a reasonable <br>> expectation of working in an environment that did not promote a culture of <br>> death. Forcing institutions such as these to provide a service that they did <br>> not originally is to force every person employed there to do something that <br>> was not in their original job description. I am not talking about the <br>> mythical minority that might have hired on at an abortion mill that suddenly <br>> don't want to perform their job. In my example I'm talking about thousands <br>> of real health care professionals, in yours you talking about a tiny handful <br>> (if that) of hypothetical employees. I stand by my red herring assertion.<br>> <br>> It seems that you are arguing in favor of an employers right to can a <br>> hypothetical fraction of his work force rather than the rights of the very <br>> real thousands of doctors and nurses who will be adversely impacted by BHO's <br>> very bad decision.<br>> <br>> g<br>> ----- Original Message ----- <br>==========================<br></body>
