"God made you a man."
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.

Good for her.  I may be biased as basically an atheist, but even if I were a believer I think that would piss me right off.

I'm sorry but this is the kind of stupidity that makes my blood boil  >:(.  I mean, who are these people to tell her (or any other patient who is PAYING for their surgery) that she is a "man" and is not supposed to have a BA?  They always have to name "God" to justify their own personal/bigoted views.  Sheesh!
