...vulnerable children in need of adoption—the silent third party to this feud—should not be overlooked. Nevertheless, I write to point out a course of action the piece’s authors overlooked—one that would allow the state to avoid this dilemma altogether. Massachusetts could amend its tax laws to revoke the favored tax status of private organizations incorporated under state law that discriminate based on sexual orientation.

...couldn?t get to a pharmacy for three months to fill a prescription for high blood pressure medication, placing you at greater risk of a heart attack or stroke? Have you thought about where and how you?d take care of someone in your family who got sick, to avoid infecting anyone else in the house? What if enough truck drivers who deliver chlorine to water treatment plants get sick that the water in your community is no longer treated? Is there a stock of water that you could rely on in such an emergency? Now might be a good...
