"Duas mulheres (não) é igual a um homem e uma mulher": representações de médicos e juízes acerca da maternidade lésbica medicamente assistida.

- Abstract
This article focuses on a case-study about the representations of medical doctors and judges regarding medically assisted lesbian motherhood. Among medical doctors, the figure of "the father" is vital and lesbian motherhood is seen as a disturbing change; among judges, the presence of a father figure is not considered essential to motherhood. Accordingly, among the latter, lesbian motherhood is a maternal model that should have legal expression. However, in both cases, the underlying scenario is the dominant model of motherhood: marriage and the nuclear family.
