Rod, pro-choicers and the Left love those kinds of laws (it’s hard to argue how that doesn’t reek of “No Catholics Need Apply,” isn’t it?). Hospital mergers and the Catholic Church is a bit of an obsession of many pro-choice groups (see here, too), especially. And that Gray Davis is Catholic makes it so much better, from a Left point of view–very much like the wonder of Ted Kennedy Dick Durbin vs. Jeff Sessions and Orrin Hatch debating Catholic theology on the Senate floor during the (still ongoing Pryor debate); you know what side the former pair were on.
