It is not complex. AND logic requires double positive input for positive output. One input is clearly not positive (and the article suggest that the other was coached under duress into, if not exactly consent, frustrated acquiescence.) Therefore the output of the function cannot be positive.
The hospital administrators (or doctors?) decided the ends justified the means. The policeman decided he was a hired gun with no agency. And here they are.
- ceejayoz 3y agoYou're mixing up the family situation and the legal one. The family situation was complex. The hospital's legal requirements appear less complex, and they do appear to have violated the law there. (With the caveat that the article heavily relies on the father, his lawyers, and anti-abortion activists. Unless I missed it, the hospital's side is mostly absent.)

Analogously, free speech cases almost always come down to defending assholes, because they're the ones who cause trouble in the first place. Probably I'm objecting to your 'procedural misconduct' phrasing, which appears to minimize an ethical disaster into an understandable mistake in the course of a busy day.
