California court: Doctors can't discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation: Fertility treatments
California’s Supreme Court has ruled that doctors cannot discriminate against gays and lesbians even if they believe their religious freedom will be violated during a course of treatment.
The case involved a San Diego County lesbian, Guadalupe Benitez, who informed doctors that she and her partner wanted to pursue fertility treatments. Two doctors said that their religious beliefs would prevent them from performing an artificial insemination for Benitez.
Benitez sued, citing California’s civil rights act.
