The California Supreme Court ruled on Monday that doctors in the state must treat gay and lesbian patients equally, regardless of religious objections. The Court overruled a fertility clinic’s choice not to provide fertility services to a lesbian couple on the grounds of religious beliefs. The suit against the clinic was brought by Guadalupe Benitez, who filed a case against North Coast Women’s Care Medical Group for refusing to provide artificial insemination to her because she was a lesbian.
