"Gay Rights Court Victory."

Hi Rozie37! I support the doctor's rights for exercising their beliefs and religion. I have nothing against the lesbians and gays and I respect their rights too. However, it is not right that they will demand respect for their rights at the expense of other people's rights. If the Christian doctors refuse to go against their religion just to please them, why don't they just go to those doctors who are not Christians and are willing to perform the procedure? It is unfair if you force people to do what you want when it is against their beliefs. If they want to be respected, I think they should respect other people too. I think that is what equality means and not favoring just one side. Take care always..God Bless!

You don't decide what is god's law. Only God can decide what is god's law. Only god is allowed to make those kind of decisions. Only god is allowed to judge not you.

How dare you say to people who desperately want children they can't get artificially inseminated! What about married infertile couples? What about them? You're saying they can't have kids either becasue the man was knocked in the gonads when he was a kid? I'm glad my God is not the same as yours, because mine gives us the ability to use the brains he gave us to use the technology that's available to us. If it were up to you, we'd still be living in caves, not having advanced past fire, because ooooh, the wheel is soooo scary.

Rozie, I will never ever agree or accept gays lifestyle no matter how much or how hard they try to shove it down my throat. It IS against God's will and so therefore, I will NOT accept it. Doctors should have the right to do what they feel is ethically correct in his own feelings and not have to do anything that doesn't feel right to him/her. So now if a doctor disagrees about something, does that give me the right to sue him too? Hell no! So what gives this low life the right to sue him? Stupid "B" could've gone elsewhere but nooooo she had to make herself known to the world and make herself look like she's somebody. Yeah, she's somebody alright, a low down rotten dirty bag!!

Sometimes it's really confusing what is really the right or wrong way. So many conflicting views and opinions. If you listen to others they always say that they are following the bible and many don't even believe the teaching in the bible.

What were his grounds for refusing her? Was it just that she was a lesbian? Or does he regularly refuse patients this procedure on other grounds? If it was just because she is a lesbian, I would disagree fully. Morality is relative, and just because the doctor thinks being gay is immoral doesn't give him the right to deny services. If it was because he thought she would make an unfit parent, were there any other refused procedures to non-lesbian candidates? On what basis would he be making that determination?

I do not think a doctor should encourage immorality. I can see a doctor performing artificial insemination using the husband's sperm if the wife's eggs have to be extracted, fertilized, and inserted into the womb because her tubes are blocked. But it seems that is seldom attempted, but they will do it for a lesbian or a homosexual couple. Using someone else's sperm is adultery. That would be the only reason a doctor should artificially inseminate a woman. Some couples do need help. If the doctor's religion forbids him to encourage immorality, he should not be fined for obeying his conscience. He should have a right to freedom of religion, but I guess the homosexual community think that they should get what they want and the Christians should not have any rights. That is proof, that Satan is the ruler of this world.

One of the major problems I have with religion is how it infringes on the rest of our lives. I understand that Christian doctors can make decisions based on their religion, but at some point people have to learn to separate their religion from the rest of their lives including their careers. It's a doctor's responsibility to do what's best for their patients and that includes perhaps performing procedures that go against their religious rights. Also, who is to judge who can and cannot receive artificial insemination. I am a woman who was unable to conceive and give birth naturally. Artificial insemination was one way I could have become a parent, but at the time my medical insurance was not covering such a procedure so we adopted. Thankfully, in our country everyone is able to practice religious freedom and I am grateful for that, but I think it is unwise to use that religion to unfairly judge how people should live their own lives.

Rozie you have never been in the situation where you want a child so bad and cannot have one. I believe god helps those who help them selves. I also believe that God did not give us the knowledge and the tools to impregnate women who could not get pregnant on their own and not to use what we have learned. Just because you do not agree with the life style who are you do say they can or cannot have a child. Why would Christ make gay and lesbian people if it was so wrong? I believe that being gay or lesbian is not a choice you are born with those feelings.

First of all, her sexuality was none of the doctors' business, as far as I'm concerned. A single woman who is NOT sexually active who wants a child can be impregnated by way of artificial insemination. There is no difference. Secondly, the Old Testament appears to be clear on the subject, but the New Testament is just that - a NEW Testament. Christ Himself said, "let he who is without sin cast the first stone." Jesus was hated by the authorities because He didn't follow their discriminatory ways - he dined with "sinners", he touched the untouchable, he ventured into Arab neighborhoods and spoke not just to a Samaritan, but a Samaritan woman, something men of his time simply were not to do. You didn't converse with women and you sure didn't go into non-Jewish neighborhoods and associate with non-Jews. He pointed out rightly that no one is without sin and that we are love all as we love ourselves after first giving our hearts and souls to the Almighty. Thirdly, if these doctors were fertilization specialists, they were legally wrong to deny fertilization procedures to anyone unless they were working for a church organization that only treated fellow believers. Since that does not exist, they are required by law and by oath to treat all. If they want to differentiate between their patients, they need to establish a clinic that only treats patients of like mind.

I don't think that this woman's choice to get pregnant artificially was immoral, but I do agree with you on one point: These doctor's have the right to refuse to perform the procedure on religious or moral grounds if they want to. It is like some pharmacists choosing to not sell contraceptives if it violates their believes. The woman should have gone to another doctor who would have willingly performed this procedure.

Ever heard the saying "judge not lest ye be judged"? Well you shouldn't judge other women just because they don't have the good fortune or good organs to get pregnant naturally. Also, god is the decider, you are not, so you can't decide for him what is right and what is wrong. If any doctor decided to disagree with me i would just go elsewhere. There are so many doctors out there, it's really no point to sue one, just go somewhere else. Much easier. Work is work, religion has no place in it. They are two separate things. If i felt that a professional that i used was religious and was going to possibly hold that against me when it came time to deliver those services, i would drop them like a hot potato. I think organized religion is just like a cult, they brain wash you into thinking you are above everyone else, "gods chosen" or some rubbish. Why would god make people just to judge them? At least i dont' have to make myself believe weird things like that, i can live my life in peace without fear of satans and judgement days...why bother living in the first place if everything you do is a sin? It's not a rosy outlook is it?
