Wulff v. Singleton represents the first case in which a physician has been granted standing when his sole injury arose from the possibility that he might not be paid for performing abortions. It also represents the first time a physician, as opposed to his patient, has been held to be denied equal protection. The court's rationale is examined. (LBH)
