A California woman has settled a lawsuit against her former doctors who denied her artificial insemination based on her sexual orientation, attorneys for both sides said Tuesday.
Guadalupe Benitez, 36, of Oceanside, and her spouse sued doctors at North Coast Women's Medical Group in Vista for discrimination in 2001. California's highest court last year barred the Christian doctors from invoking religious beliefs, ruling state law prohibiting sexual orientation discrimination extends to the medical profession.

Attorneys for the doctors and Benitez said that they settled the case for an undisclosed sum of money. The doctors said in a statement that they want all of their patients -- including those who are homosexual -- to feel welcome in their medical practice.
(So no mater the faith or the values of the doctor if somebody wants to have children even if there won't be both a father and mother in the home you must give them the treatment they want. I thought we had a right to follow our spiritual faith in this nation. This is a sad day for doctors and for America.)
