Controversial UK Lesbian Fertility Laws
The United Kingdom passed a
controversial bill this week, granting lesbian equal access to fertility treatment. The law permits lesbian couples to have their names printed on the child's birth certificate as his/her parents. The bill was passed due in part to the fact that many lesbian mothers and couples were putting themselves and their children in harms way by using backstreet fertility tactics and procedures.
The report released today by Gay/Lesbian activists validates the governments reasoning, "
This latest step forward for our communities is an important reminder that lesbian and gay families are every bit as loving and tender and magical as any other."
This is a great step forward for the UK in both fertility treatments and stem-cell research.
