An appeal to the California Supreme Court will be filed early in the New Year in a controversial case involving two doctors who refused in vitro fertilization to a lesbian.

Last week an appeals court ruled that the doctors had the right to refuse to artificially inseminate the woman based on her marital status because it would have violated their religious beliefs. (story)

The courted cited California nondiscrimination laws which did not include marital status at the time the service was refused. The law has since been revised to protect same-sex couples who cannot marry in California.
