"I trusted my doctors and then they humiliated my family and me by refusing to perform the insemination procedure after they'd been treating me and promising it to me for nearly a year," she said.
Ahhh, yes. I'm sure much greater than the humiliation of having daughter who is a lesbian.

Why didn't she just get another doctor? Was she trying for an immaculate conception, of sorts?

They should have rejected her request up front, instead of waiting a year. Having said that, she should have shopped another doctor, or even gone the DIY route, there are websites out there that will tell her how to use a turkey baster, seriously.

Article starts with "infertility treatment", then at the very last it changes to "insemination".
It looks like they have treated her "infertility", so why doesn't person just go on and get laid?

"I trusted my doctors and then they humiliated my family and me by refusing to perform the insemination procedure after they'd been treating me and promising it to me for nearly a year," she said.This is the part where the story becomes fuzzy.
My guess is that perhaps, for nearly a year, she kept it a secret that she was a lesbian. Otherwise the Catholic doctors wouldn't have given her the time of day.
My other guess is that she deliberately set this whole thing up just to bring this case forward to the public and the courts.
The questions will be asked: so why did you go to Catholic doctors when you know what an ABOMIATION your lesbian lifestyle is to them? Why did you ask for something you KNOW they wouldn't do?
Smells like a set-up to me. I think it stinks of the ACLU.

I think you may be right. I think she got just what she wanted.

A woman whose doctors refused her infertility treatment because she is a lesbian has sued before California's Supreme Court, her attorney said.She doesn't want her case swept under the rug.
To: NYer
"I trusted my doctors and then they humiliated my family and me by refusing to perform the insemination procedure after they'd been treating me and promising it to me for nearly a year," she said.I think the doctors should have continued treating her......(but never actually "succeeding")......This way they would still make the money and the lezzes would not have known to go to another clinic.......

How about she just try having one the old fashioned way. Wait, I forgot about that new "right" that everyones seems to think they are entitled to have children whenever they want.

For one thing, insemination isn't an infertility treatment (if she were infertile, insemination wouldn't do a thing for her)---and for another thing, Catholics aren't "fundamentalist Christians" (which is a category of Protestant belief) --- and for a third thing, faithful practicing Catholic doctors don't do artificial insemination for anybody, period.
Other than that, the article's fine...

"I trusted my doctors and then they humiliated my family and me by refusing to perform the insemination procedure after they'd been treating me and promising it to me for nearly a year," she said. "...I felt so ashamed and humiliated, rather than simply finding another doctor, I mounted a lawsuit and promoted it with national media coverage."

I can understand doctors being obligated to administer life-saving treatment. This, however, does not qualify. No one's life is in danger here, and there is no reason to force the doctors to act against their consciences.
