Two weeks ago, or so, a change in the law has allowed a child to have two mothers - a natural mother who has had fertility treatment with the sperm of some (unknown?) father, and the lesbian partner of that mother. All this in the name of equality of rights. (I assume that in the same way two male homosexuals with a child who is the child of one of them by sperm donation would become equal fathers. I wonder why, in the name of equality the same rights are not granted to two brothers or two sisters?)
The information will be entered on the birth certificate, with complete inequality as between the mothers. It would be interesting to speculate what would happen in the event of divorce. Which "mother" would have custody? We could have the situation that the mother who bore the child loses out, for some reason, because being the natural mother would not be a sufficient reason.
We are beginning to live in a "Brave New World" which shows the stupidity of applying the principle of "rights" to its logical conclusion.
Could we have stepfathers claiming equal rights, and if not why not? Why deny rights because of some biological factor in the past?
It would seem that biology is being replaced by law based on ideology, and the notion of the traditional family being destroyed step by step, and the English language is being slightly mutilated.
