Sue them into bankruptcy. That is the plan and it works often enough. ACLU has effectively unlimited resources to sue. Hospitals and small bakery shops and ultimately individuals who don’t step off the sidewalk when a Mohammedan approaches don’t have unlimited resources for defense.

The hospital is a part of Dignity Health, a nonprofit that operates 40 hospitals -- 22 of which are Catholic -- in California, Nevada and Arizona.

That's part of the problem right there. The hospital has already put itself in a compromising position through its business arrangements.

Wasn’t the ACLU founded to protect the 1st amendment?

There was a story like this about ten years ago in Vancouver, Canada. The local bishop — who wasn’t really known for being a strong defender of the faith — sent letters to all of the patients informing them that the hospital was going to shut down rather than capitulate to the diabolical dictates of the city or provincial government. Surprisingly, the government backed down in that case ... probably because a shutdown of the hospital would have overwhelmed the other city hospitals.

Very selectively, I guess. It is basically a communist organization with its own political agenda and has no use for the U.S. Constitution.

CATHOLIC HOSPITALS SHOULD SHUT DOWN THEIR OB/GYN DEPARTMENTS...

Rather than submit.

No. It was founded to advance communism.

"The ACLU's intentions came to light this week"

Their immediate plans may have come to light this week, but their intentions towards actual freedom to practice one's religion have been repeatedly demonstrated over their 95 year history. They are not, and never have been really about protecting civil liberties. Rather they have been systematically seeking to undermine American cultural institutions throughout their history.

For a closer look at the ACLU, see Leftwing Word Games & Freedom Of Religion.

This organization should be banned-—it is unconstitutional. It’s whole premise is to destroy Freedom of Religion and to promote Vice-—killing of others, sterilization of human beings, promoting the rights (vice) to sodomize others——all it promotes is a censorship of Good (Virtue/Justice) and a promotion of Vice.

Doctors who sterilize, or kill babies should be put in prison. Since when did we allow the dehumanization of people to be “normalized”-—that Margaret Sanger murdering of the inferior and sterilization of inferiors——Satanic mindset be “Good”.

Flipping Good and Evil is NOT allowed in our Justice System...which is STILL based on Natural Law Theory (Individual Natural Rights/dignity from God).

All evil is to be banned in a Just society. Any organization that forces human beings to be used as a Means to an End is promoting Marxism-—and Stalin’s Constitution which is antithetical to our Natural Rights from God only “Justice System”.

Our Justice system is only applicable to Christian Ethics where ALL human beings have Dignity and Worth—and are treated EQUALLY-—never Stalin’s or Satan’s system, where sterilization and sodomizing others and killing babies and old useless eaters, is “Good”.

We need to get back to Constitutional Law-—and Rule of Law (Higher Law/God’s) and eject all these unconstitutional, evil-promoting organizations which destroy Freedom and deny our Constitutional Rights.

The fires of Hell will be hot for the members of the ACLU.

They want people to suffer and for all of us to have less hospitals because they want to shove their religion of Atheism down our throats.

It looks like the Catholics will be forced into become John Galt.

They may just find that the Catholic Faith ends up abandoning the Catholic Hospitals...and shuts them down or sells them off.

I totally agree. They will show that they are standing up for what is right.

When they close they should put a huge billboard size sign in front of the hospital that says:

“OB/GYN DEPARTMENT CLOSED DUE TO THE ATHEISTS AND COMMUNISTS AT THE ACLU.”

The Catholics need to sic Jay Sekulow on their demonic heinies.

This is vindictive by the ACLU athiests.
We’ve always been treated good by the Catholic Healthcare System.
My wife is Buddhist and they still provide her with superior service without any problems.

“Force Catholic Hospitals to Abandon Catholic Faith”
That is the intention of the left.

From your posted article worth noting.....

“Forty years ago, the Veritas Foundation (headed by President Theodore Roosevelt’s son Archibald) published a staff study on The Great Deceit, Social Pseudo-Sciences, which carefully documented the Fabian Socialist assault upon the American Social Sciences and legal system during the first six decades of the past Century. After dealing at length with the antics of former Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter—whom Roosevelt’s father once compared to Leon Trotsky (ibid.., p.295)—the study described the birth of the ACLU”

This is the beginning of the Fabian takeover (Marxist) of the USA. As Sugar Keynes of Harvard (a Fabian) stated-—he and his homosexual “friends” who were raping all the boys and even castrating ones in third world countries—and bragging about it in letters that can be read today-—stated that they would make this “Love” that dare not be spoken-—”normal”.....the infiltrating Marxists did that just recently with the use of unjust, perverted “law” by the Marxists planted on SCOTUS.

We have had unjust (unconstitutional) laws that promote Vice and censorship of Religion and Traditions for 100 years-to erase God and Christianity off the map so our children will be raised to believe “snow is black” and boys are girls—and it is Stalin’s Constitution—never ours.

The Fabians actually flipped Good and Evil over the period of a century-—(Evil is promoted in all public schools for the last 30 years) to make Satanic (Stalin’s) Ethics the ethics of America in our children....to posit a satanic, evil worldview in our children-—that collective, group think where base emotions reduce us to godless animals.

They virtually removed Chrsitian Ethics (demonized and marginalized everything to do with Jesus Christ in art/movies/public “schools”) which basically perverted our Constitution and Truth-—which is the basis of our Individual Natural Rigths (from God).

Removing God (unconstitutional) makes the State into god for totalitarianism and a collective (dependent) culture where there is no individual natural rights for anyone but the elitists who are our masters and dictate Good and Evil perversions to us.

How did they place themselves in a compromising position?

Did you see where they are now trying to purge any religious appeals in athletic coaching motivation? They have gotten away with outright insanity for far too long.
