Should the University of California bow down to Catholic restrictions on healthcare services such as abortion and services for LGBTQ patients? The pressure is on to say no.

UC’s report on making deals with Catholic hospitals came to no conclusion.

The group issued its report in December 2019, but it was clear that the members had punted. Unable to agree on a single recommendation, they offered the Board of Regents two options. Critics within the working group and throughout the university properly considered those terms a dodge. As the open letter to Drake explains, assuring professionals merely of the right to make decisions and issue prescriptions left open a loophole, since the option didn’t guarantee the right of doctors to provide those services or perform procedures.

It's a public university. Shun away! Don't like abortions? Don't get one.

Column: ‘Distanced in body but close in spirit’: this California church embraced remote worshipServices held via Zoom by Tapestry, a Unitarian Universalist congregation in Lake Forest, were no less sacred than in person, Gustavo Arellano writes. Would LATimes run a story like this for QAnon? It's hard to see the difference between QAnon and religion. But we were told it’s not church if people aren’t crammed in together like sardines to worship in-person. Perhaps the variants have served as a wake-up call. Make a confession to the computer?😁

Why the Oscars Needed a Host (Column)What a year not to have montages. And what a year to not have the anchor of a host. The 2021 Oscars came at the end of a long year for movie fans. With traditional options for screening films scram… It was a truly depressing Oscars ceremony. It failed on almost every level & certainly did not raise awareness of the nominated films. A spot-on analysis of how the Oscars this year will go down in history as one of the biggest missteps in awards show history Wonder if they’ll return to a one host format next year or stick to presenters

Charisma Carpenter: How To Be an Ally of Victims of Abuse (Guest Column)The actress offers advice after being deluged with responses to her social media post detailing psychological abuse she says she endured from Joss Whedon on the sets of 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' and 'Angel.' Looks like she's at it again. Anything for attention! pathetic This is super insightful and helpful. THIS THIS THIS! “Please don’t tell people to 'rise above,' 'just move on, it was a long time ago,' 'get over it' and 'forgive and forget' abusive experiences. This is dismissive and devoid of empathy. Justice for the abused is an integral part of the healing process.”
