Gutless

The decision by the California Medical Association to pull its legal brief in support of two doctors who, on religious grounds, refused to provide artificial insemination treatment to a self-identified lesbian is sheer cowardice. When I worked for the Pacific Justice Institute a couple of years ago, I believe this is the case that I once drafted an amicus brief for at the request of the attorney for the doctors. If I'm not mistaken, the clinic that these doctors are with actually went out of its way to find a doctor to perform the treatment the woman wanted at no additional cost. In view of this, it seems pretty clear that this lawsuit was brought primarily for purposes of spiting people of religious faith and judicially establishing homosexuality as a legally protected class of persons.
