Mark Sheapoints to a California law recently signed by Gov. Gray Davis that forbids non-profit hospitals from being sold if a provision of their sale limits the services that could be provided there. In other words, the state explicitly wants to keep Catholic hospitals from being sold to buyers that would honor in the contract the Church’s prohibition on abortion and sterilization. Gray Davis assures the public that he’s a good Catholic. He’s something, all right, but I’m not sure it’s printable on a fambly blog. Anyway, how can this be legal? Isn’t there a First Amendment problem here?
