Thank you Rabbi Shafran--Noam Stadlan thanks a Chareidi (right-wing Orthodox) rabbi for proving that Chareidi arguments against women's ordination are not based on halacha (Jewish religious law).  (Full disclosure:  Noam Stadler used to be one of the Orthodox voices of reason commenting on my blog [under a pseudonym], so, of course, I just had to read this.  In my opinion, the good doctor continues to be an Orthodox voice of reason.)
