Family Research Council: LESBIANS are to blame for octomommy.
Edited on Sat Feb-14-09 08:38 PM by Bluebear
Teh gays. Is there ANYTHING we can't do?


====

When Nadya Suleman became a mom for the 14th time, she raised more than a few eyebrows. The drama grew by national proportions when details trickled out that Suleman was not only unmarried, but chose to have multiple embryos implanted in her womb through in-vitro fertilization. Last week, taxpayers learned that they would be partially liable for the family's care through hundreds of dollars in food stamps and disability payments. The news fueled even more conviction that the fertility doctor should have refused the procedure.

But is he really to blame--or are our courts? In California, the state Supreme Court made it virtually impossible for a physician to exercise his own judgment after two lesbians sued in 2001 for the right to be artificially inseminated over the doctors' personal or social objections.

Last year, in Benitez v. North Coast Women's Care Medical Group, the justices ruled that anti-discrimination laws trumped physicians' rights. In so doing, the court tied the hands of the medical field, leaving little recourse against irresponsible and unhealthy decisions like Suleman's.

2. Oh dear God -
It's the Dr's whack job notion to be famous here. Any doctor in that medical field knows that there are risks involved and that the woman's home life should be taken into consideration.

4. Benitez only applies to GLBT discrimination
It does not apply to a doctors decision to not implant because he has doubts about a womans ability to properly care for her children.
