Wait a second guys, if Catholic organizations (such as this hospital) make use of corporate entities and invoke or in any way benefit from any corporate personhood-type doctrine...that's hypocrisy, right??? Because the Church doesn't teach that corporations are people, right?

Thank you. I cannot believe you are the only commenter to grasp those simple concepts.

So what remedy would the law provide to Lohan? Can you specifically identify any law that provides her an enforceable right arising from the disrobing incident?

Yikes I guess we've all overlooked the blatant unconstitutionality of the tax-exemption for churches.

Wait, so you're not letting your emotions determine your opinions about how government should function? And you're a member of our society??? Please, are there more like you out there?

Apparently, the author objects to professional competence. But hey, at least she's not a hypocrite.

We should restrict trampoline and swimming pool ownership as well. Also we need to regulate the sale of certain non-essential foods and objects that pose an elevated choking risk to children. Parents of young children who choose to live near busy motorways should be subjected to a special tax.

So then pro-lifers are correct when they assert that the Constitution does not contain the rights at issue in Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey?

That's scary as shit. I know someone who had a recurring nightmare about something and then basically experienced it. Ahhh I can't even finish typing and I just realized how creepy my apartment is. You suck.

I'm actually made out of noodles and I work for a consortium of minced pies.

I think I get the objection to sponsored, but then I don't see how sanctioned is more appropriate. Help me.

Weirder, the article I read was about Obama's appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and two statements that he made therein: (1) Rape is rape/certain distinctions being made about rape don't make sense, and (2) politicians, and especially male politicians, shouldn't be making decisions about women's health…

I thought this was a discussion about Obama's assertion that "rape is rape." That criminal, wrongful conduct is criminal and wrong. That we should reject patently nonsensical distinctions and see clearly that which is objectively wrong. So, I think it is relevant to point out that Obama, the man who is making the…

Yep, rape is rape. And state-sponsored murder is state-sponsored murder, even if accomplished by remote control.

In terms of the constitutional law surrounding abortions, I think the U.S. currently affords women with greater protection than does Canada.

To clarify, I don't really mean the outcome but more the reasoning and tone of the opinion(s).

Why do say sexism? Do you think the outcome would have been different if the taxpayer employed male strippers instead of female strippers?

Obama is putting on such a smug face while he listens. And the best part is that he is doing it on purpose. He's even controlling his blinks for dramatic effect.

Holy smoke! Obama thinks every other nation in the world is dispensable.

Completely true. It's an improvement to the law. It makes sense. It's not a monumental development by any stretch. Why does Obama hold it out as such an accomplishment? Why are we still talking about it in 2012?
