<DIV><FONT color=#150e00 size=4 face=Calibri>Such a flip
response.....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#150e00 size=4 face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#150e00 size=4 face=Calibri>It seems to me this bill has some
serious flaws. Those who claim personhood begins with fertilization will
certainly see it from a different perspective than those who do not.
Regardless, it seems to me its flaws are more serious than its intentions
are benign. I have some observations for its sponsor, but it
will probably pass before I get the answers to any of my questions.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#150e00 size=4 face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#150e00 size=4 face=Calibri>1. If one is providing a
prescription s/he is killing nothing. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#150e00 size=4 face=Calibri>2. I don't see
anything in the bill that speaks to having someone else there,
"willing and able to do it," as you say, so I believe your premise is
somewhat flawed. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#150e00 size=4 face=Calibri>3. A great many drugs, which
are taken for other purposes, can sometimes cause spontaneous
abortions. Should a pharmacist be allowed to refuse to fill those
because s/he has reason to think a woman might be pregnant and might be planning
to use them as an abortifacient? The law certainly appears to allow
that in Section (2) which is crystal clear: "No health
care professional shall be required to provide any health care service that
violates his or her conscience." </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#150e00 size=4 face=Calibri>4. Regarding subsection
six: If, in an emergency, might a health care professional kill a mother
in order to save a newborn? It reads: "Shall provide treatment and
care," but it doesn't specify to whom, or whether that care would have to be
the kind the patient's doctor ordered. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#150e00 size=4 face=Calibri>5. Should this bill pass, If
I were an employer, on the application for employment, I would require the
signing of a statement in which an employee agreed to provide all services that
would ordinarily be offered by an employee working in that capacity. So if
you told the truth, I wouldn't hire you, Donovan. The bill states you have
to give me notification in advance of the need, so I think I would have reason
to fire you if you lied, then later you refused and claimed protection under the
provisions of Idaho Code 18-611.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#150e00 size=4 face=Calibri>6. Interestingly, Idaho Code
18-604 doesn't identify abortifacients so much as it defines items which
are not. So it certainly doesn't serve as much of a
delimiter.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#150e00 size=4 face=Calibri>7. Two other issues deal
with treatment using embryonic stem cells and end of life
care. That one puzzles me the most--are they just gearing up in case
the people of the State of Idaho pass a vote to allow assisted
suicide? Like that is going to happen
here!! What legal end of life measures could a
person ethically refuse to do now? Seems as though that's
overkill....an appropriate word, I think, for SB
1353. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#150e00 size=4 face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#150e00 size=4 face=Calibri>And thanks to Senator Schroeder for
the critical issues you raised in your debate. I appreciated what you had
to say.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>I think it is a good idea to give health care provides the option of
declining to kill a baby, etus, embryo, zygote, or fertilized egg if
someone else is there willing and able to do it. Why not?</DIV>
