Doctors have the right not to treat certain patients.

Doctors drop patients all the time for a whole host of reasons, including being difficult.

Yes,they do.But unless there's more to this story than we see (distinctly possible) it could be that this physician is acting unethically in refusing this child care.

Please note that I said "could be" and also note that I'm speaking from 20+ years experience in academic medicine.

Agree, but what if the doctor agrees to provide care to an infant, then refuses when she shows up at the office?

I agree with you that the doctor should have the right to accept or deny patients for whatever reason. I looked up this doctor on Healthgrades. She had a pretty low rating from a patient perspective, so keep looking, ladies. I am sure there is someone out there who won’t care that you are trying to raise a child without a father and that child will have problems that other children won’t have who are raised by two parents of the opposite sex.
