Hmmmm . . . I suspect once again that, once again, Moscow Tom is confused over what "really is" as opposed to what he wants something to be. I can see no wording in HO216 whatsoever that would support MT's claim that this bill "allows potential employers to evaluate a pharmacist's job application." Where do you get this stuff?!?!<br>
<br>Allow me to direct you to the one salient section that apparently MT didn't bother to read carefully (or at all), 54-1718A Paragraph (3) which states: <br><br>"It shall be unlawful to discriminate against ANY (my caps) person based upon his or her declining to dispense or distribute pharmaceutical care or a drug or drugs that violate his or her conscience."<br>
<br>I think it is safe to say this is on point with respect to any potential discriminatory hiring practices. <br><br>GS<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Mar 31, 2009 at 10:47 AM, Tom Hansen <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:thansen@moscow.com">thansen@moscow.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
House Bill 216 allows potential employers to evaluate a pharmacist's job<br>
application on the applicant's religious, moral, and ethical values.<br>
<br>
"Sorry, Matt. But we here at Smith's Pharmacy feel that your pro-life<br>
ethic may adversely impact upon your duties when it comes to filling some<br>
of our most loyal customers' prescriptions."<br>
<br>
How is that right?<br>
