"God made you a man" -- Love it! Right to the point. The next sentence should have been "Now act like one."

There's a pic of "Charlene" in the paper today, but it's not online. Probably a good thing, too. If you haven't hurled after reading the story, the pic would have certainly sent you over the top.

The lawsuit was filed Dec. 21 in San Francisco Superior Court. How do you suppose it will turn out? [purely rhetorical question]

[Spok]

Why is it that it’s the ‘you can’t legislate morality’ liberals who are always trying to use the law to force their values on others? [Rhetorical question]

Hastings, 57, had already had the major surgery she needed to become a woman.

Radical cutitoffomy, to be precise.

"It is about transgender people being able to use businesses

I've been waiting for this type of slippery slope with the words again. The same thing that invented words like "Undocumented immigrant."

Trangenderism has nothing to do with this. The item in question is a transsexual.

That's what Charlene Hastings said she was told when she called to inquire about breast enlargement surgery at Seton Medical Center, a Catholic hospital in Daly City.

Cut or not, you are still a dude. And you do not pass. - Sorry.

[Sender]

As opposed to the opposite procedure, addadictomy.

[gidget7]

The hospital should simply revoke Dr. Gray’s practicing/affiliation rights. He should no better than even attempt to perform this type of butchery at a Catholic Hospital.

It doesn’t matter what these misguided souls do, at the end of their lives they still have the original DNA that they were born with. It would probably be a whole lot better if they tried therapy to accept their birth gender.

She had chosen a San Francisco plastic surgeon with privileges at Seton to perform the breast augmentation in October 2006.

Reporters these days! They don't even tell us which breast the sick man wants augmented.

"There's simply no religious exemption in the Unruh Act," Wertz said.

Then that law is abhorrent to the Constitution and should be struck down.

Nothing wrong with these "people"....wouldn't you hire them in YOUR business?

[joebuck]

Whatever differences I have in theology with Catholics I cannot deny their good works. Building hospitals in virtually every major city in the world, missions, soup kitchens and every other kind of good work. This is how I know them. And here comes the world, in its most perverted face, to fight the Church in its mission to heal the sick in Jesus' name. The world hates the light. The light convicts them and they seek to extinguish it wherever it is found.

Satan's battle against the bride of Christ is in full force both from without, and more dangerously, from within. The pressure on the saints to conform to the world increases every day with the force of the state being advanced incrementally to accomplish this. Our communities have been infiltrated with wolves in sheep's clothing preaching a worldly Gospel, "having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power." We are seeing the chaff blown away and those of true faith must remain strong and steadfast.

[RobinOfKingston]

I think this has less to do with getting the operation than it has to do with forcing another institution to bow to the perverted desires of a slim sub-set of society.

"There's simply no religious exemption in the Unruh Act," Wertz said

How about:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; ...."

I'm certain that there is another hospital in San Fagcisco where the doctor can do his little nip/tuck.

[peggybac]

If the hospital is a private one is it still liable?

[reg45]

Just think, when HillaryObamaCare arrives, we will be paying for this kind of crap.

[HereInTheHeartland]

These people are sick.
Next, one will wake up and think they should be a Golden retriever, and want surgery to achieve that.
Woof, woof...

"This certainly isn't an isolated incident," said Kristina Wertz, legal director of the Advertisement Transgender Law Center in San Francisco. "This is a civil rights story."

Uh, BS. It's one more attempt by the idiots on the left to use the courts to achieve what they can't achieve via referendum or in the legislature.

[denydenydeny]

So...breast implants are a civil right. Okay.

[JewishRighter]

I thought the picture of Kerry and Edwards went with the story.

[Hardastarboard]

rights of transgendered people

Funny, I missed that amendment in the Bill of Rights. Anybody seen that missing amendment?
