Cal. Supreme Court Rejects Doctors' Rights of Conscience
------------------------------------------------------------------------
City: Sacramento, CA
August 18, 2008

In a major decision likely to re-draw the battle lines of the gay rights 
movement, the California Supreme Court today ruled against two doctors 
who declined to artificially inseminate a lesbian.

The doctors, who are Christians, strongly believe that children should 
be raised whenever possible by a mother and father. To that end, they 
did not want to participate in the deliberate exclusion of a father as 
sought by Guadalupe Benitez and her partner, Joanne Clark. Instead, the 
doctors paid for a referral of Ms. Benitez to other fertility 
specialists who did not have any moral objections to administering the 
treatment, and she now has three children. Nevertheless, Ms. Benitez was 
so offended by the doctors' stance that she sued them under California's 
sweeping civil rights laws....[cont'd at link above]

AURORA, Ill., Aug. 20 /Christian Newswire 
<http://www.christiannewswire.com/>/ -- Planned Parenthood of Illinois 
is filing a motion in Kane County Circuit Court, alleging a small group 
of pro-life citizens is trying to squelch its right to free speech. 
Planned Parenthood is filing the motion based on an Anti-SLAPP law that 
originally was intended to protect small organizations or citizens 
against large corporations. On August 22, Judge Judith Brawka will 
decide on the motion put forward by Planned Parenthood. If the judge 
rules in favor of Planned Parenthood, it could open the door for other 
large corporations around the country to use Anti-SLAPP laws to silence 
any political action group that speaks out against corruption....
