RE: California Appellate ruling

OK I admit it. I don't get it. The court says it is OK for two fertility doctors to refuse fertility treatment to an unmarried woman who happens to be a lesbian. The patient says her being a lesbian is the reason the doctors won't help her have a child.

I'm wondering what would they do if an unmarried woman, significantly attached to a man wanted artificial insemination? Would they help her have a child? How many ways can these doctors quantize their patients lives?

Would the fertility doctors support an unmarried woman's right to have an abortion if she said it was against her religion to have a baby outside of marriage?
