This rule does not silence those who have no problem with certain practices. It protects those who do have a problem with certain practices. Quite a difference.

Your use of, "protection" makes everything sound righteous and balanced.

Many laws and signing statements of this administration have been used to protect the interest of the few while many others suffer the fallout.

For example, some drug research information was under the control of political appointees over the voices of concerned scientists in an attempt to allow profits to be unhindered by negative information

"Protecting" the rights of the few, in this case, results in not only misuse of information but absolves the professional--in the case of pharmacists--of his/her duty to serve any and all those who require their expertise and knowledge allowing ideology to trump the common good.

This administration has been about bullying from day one.
It's been their way or risk being dishonored or labeled something ugly.

Again, anyone failing to find confirmation of the multiple success and attempts to dumb down this great country is either profiting or in denial.

And, it's either your way or risk being called profiting or in denial.

No, it is not at all, "my way", but the way things have been conducted for eight years.

You certainly don;t have any reason to believe me. But in order or you to flesh out the facts, you will have to spend many hours researching the underbelly of this presidency.

You can start neutral sources such as with the archives at Factcheck.org and/or any number of Frontline reports for starters.

Problem is, many people haven't the time or are not willing to take or make the time to seek out neutral investigative reporting. They're boring, dense and in these cases, often too unbelievable and upsetting for the average person to take seriously.

Got Courage?

Maybe these people shouldn't work in a hospital all together, where moral/ethical issues are commonplace... People need to face the fact that these types of situations and behaviors happen where ever you are (even in church).
I don't understand how someone, as a healthcare professional, could ethically/morally agree that it is ok to withhold information on available options to a patient because of THEIR PERSONAL BELIEFS, not the pts. How can you practice as a nurse when your beliefs are in direct conflict with the philosophies of nursing and standards of pt. care?

Sheesh

this regulation is in no way about protection....it is about control....these persons need to not put themselves in these positions, but there are a few who do so purposefully...to force their beliefs on others.....if the republicans are so adamant about "freedom", i want them out of my bedroom, out of my doc's office, out of my hospital room
