i would hope not!

California rules doctors cannot withhold care to gays.

Via Atrios, the AP reports:

California’s high court has ruled doctors cannot withhold care to gays or lesbians based on religious beliefs.

The case stems from a San Diego-area lesbian’s claim that a private fertility clinic refused to inseminate her because of her sexual orientation.

A unanimous state Supreme Court said that California’s civil rights law barring sexual orientation discrimination extends to medical care.

How could anyone think that they could withhold medical care to gays? WTF is wrong with these looneys? Why become a doctor if you don't want to help people?
Do they think it would be ok to not provide care to blacks?
