Recently, here in California, a married lesbian couple was recently turned away from an insemination clinic because the doctors there were against homosexual couples having kids of their own. The doctors referred them to another clinic, and they successfully became pregnant after that.

The couple went on to sue, successfully, that their rights were infringed upon when the doctors refused to help them become pregnant. This is about access to a resource by a minority group.

This is another side to this issue, not just access to abortion, but for the greater civil right of homosexual couples to pursue adoption and artificial insemination.

Or the teenage girl from the Midwest who's pharmacist refused to fill her birth control Rx. The nutjob would rather impose his belief that girls her age should remain celibate than do his job. That was a few years back, and I'm pretty sure he got raked over the coals for it.

What ever happened to the Hippocratic oath? "First, Do No Harm." Seems easy enough? When did it become "First, impose your beliefs, then help when they subscribe to your belief system."
