If you receive federal or state money, prepare to accept the consequences.

Bingo. But I think the state could make a reasonable accommodation.

The alternative? Turn away federal/state dollars.

What did charitable entities ever do before they hooked up to federal and state money?

I feel very bad for them, but as a Catholic, I think it is the height of naiveté to think that you can collect tax money and that there will be no strings attached.

I’d much rather the Church be able to perform it’s ministry without having to compromise.

My sentiments exactly.

This had nothing to do with “federal or state money.” The legislation applied to all hospitals without exception. State tyranny pure and simple.
