US lesbian denied fertility treatment sues Catholic docs
0 Comments | AFP, April, 2006
LOS ANGELES (AFP) — A woman whose doctors refused her infertility treatment because she is a lesbian has sued before California's Supreme Court, her attorney said.
"Our client's doctors' behavior goes against established medical ethics and violates California civil rights law," said Lambda Legal attorney Jennifer Pizer in a statement announcing the suit was filed on Monday.
"The doctors claim a right not to comply with California's civil rights law because they are fundamentalist Christians and they object to treating a lesbian patient the same way they treat other patients," the group said in a statement.
An appeals court overturned a trial court decision that Guadalupe Benitez was denied infertility treatment in violation of California law.
