Missouri politicians just passed a law that strikes a serious blow to Communism on American soil. The Missouri House on Tuesday voted 115-43 to approve HB 226, an amendment thatBy definition, when it comes to women of reproductive age, refusing to provide professional services to patients you deem undesirable is an inalienable right. As such, there's nothing special about politicians enacting laws to shield medical professionals from liability. These politicians are just doing [insert deity of choice]'s work. (Hear that malpractice lawyers!)What is remarkable about Missouri's HB 226 is that it represents a quantum leap forward from the noble pursuit of playing games with your untouchable patients' trust, dignity, and health without any professional or legal liability.HB 226 allows pharmacies and pharmacists to take advantage of all the benefits of having a monopoly on the sale of drugs without any requirements to abide by those pesky professional duties and standards that are usually a condition of being granted a State monopoly.Like so:No duty to dispense drugs, talk to or advise patients, refer them to another pharmacist, or refrain fromtaking a patient's prescription and refusing to return it to her.No requirement to adhere to the professional standard of using science when dispensing drugs. (The medical definition of abortifacient is out, the personal definition is in.)No duty to dispense drugs to *pregnant* patients, since most prescription medications are Category C . (Good luck with that asthma attack if you're a pregnant woman in Missouri!)No requirement to stock or dispense a drug, RU-486 , that cannot be legally stocked by pharmacies or dispensed by pharmacists to begin with.No duty to provide pain meds or antibiotics to a patient who's been administered misoprostol and RU-486 by her physician, or, for that matter, to a patient who has an IUD, is already using birth control pills, or to men who are wearing tight underwear. (Hey, when you legislate science out of medicine, defining man panties as ais perfectly valid.)You tell me, what is more anti-communist than having the State grant a monopoly to an enterprise, remove duty and standard requirements, and then shield the entity from liability?Here is the full text oh HB 226; read it and weep:One last thing. I have a question for Rep. Ed Emery Rep. Cynthia Davis , and all the other Missouri politicians who passed HB 226. Since you've removed the professional duty and standard requirements for the sale of drugs, can I haz street stand for the glorious, Capitalist selling of Plan B in your state?
