> So the State of Illinois cannot compel a Catholic I would argue generically that giving students slack on ALL "standard" religious holidays (I'm sure the UofI misses some more obscure religions' holy days) is an attempt to not favor one over the other by treating all equal. If you left out Jewish holy days, e.g., you'd be favoring Christian holy days, an obvious preference for Christians. Compelling a Catholic pharmacist WHO TAKES PUBLIC DOLLARS (I don't think you can regulate totally private pharmacy - only those who participate in Medicaid, Medicare, etc.) to carry contraceptives would be argued as allowing the PATIENTS a uniformity so as not to favor one religion over the other. The argument would focus on the pateints, not the pharmacist, w.r.t. favoritism of one over the other by favoring Catholics (and some Evangelicals?) over the rest who would be inconvenienced by the lack of OCP availabilty. So that's the argument. On the other hand . . . . Joe P.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
