Well, they’re not quite the Red Wings, but congrats to the IHL Milwaukee Admirals for winning their first ‘Calder Cup’ by sweeping the Wilkes-Barre / Scranton Penguins 4-0.
A Calder Cup championship rally is scheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesday with free admission at the Bradley Center. The Calder Cup trophy will be on display, and Admirals players and coaching staff will attend.
A follow up to this post from April about laws being drafted that would allow health care professionals to refuse service to people for ‘moral reasons’.
Neil Noesen, a relief pharmacist at the Kmart in Menomonie, Wis., was the only person on duty one day in 2002 when a woman came in to refill her prescription for the contraceptive Loestrin FE. According to a complaint filed by the Wisconsin department of regulation and licensing, Noesen refused because of his religious opposition to birth control. – Time.com
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, but if you want to refuse services to clients because of religous or other equally vague ‘moral’ objections, get the hell out of the health care profession.
Naturally, some of the Anti-Abortion wacko’s are lobbying the state to not punish this guy, which only re-enforces the wacko-ism of a particularly radical group of people. It’s times like this I wish I were arguing the other side of the case in front of a judge.
“Mrs. Anti-Abortion Wacko, you claim that any doctor should be able to refuse service to someone because of any ‘moral’ objections the doctor might have. If you, Mrs. Anti-Abortion Wacko, were to be in need of critical care or life saving prescriptions, but were denied that treatment because the doctor disagreed with your perverted sense morality, should that be legal as well? Or only if the doctors agree with other like-minded Wackos such as yourself?”
Of course, logic doesn’t hold up in the parrallel universe a lot of the radical anti-abortion people inhabit, so I wouldn’t expect much of a logical response.
