LATEST FEATURES

The ACT Supreme court has heard a lesbian woman felt violated and devastated when she learned she was pregnant with twins.

In the first case of its kind in Australia, a lesbian couple is suing a doctor after one of them gave birth to twins instead of one child through IVF.

The couple, whose combined income exceeds $100,000, are seeking almost $400,000 to cover the costs of raising one of the girls, including private school fees.

They should think themselves lucky that they are having any children at all. When you have a child naturally you have no decision if you have one or two children. In the natural order of the world they would not be having any.

How the hell do these people get on the IVF programme in the first place. Talk about the natural order of things. In the natural order of things one of these "persons" would have had to have picked up their sperm donor in a bar. At least then there would be no legal action possible against the donor!

What a load of crock, first of all these two ungrateful woman, should be thankful that the tax payers of Australia are willing to allow IVF treatment to be made available for them in the first place (it is there chosen life style is why they chose not to make their own, the plumbing is there and working) secondly are heterosexual couples likely to get compensated for twins or triplets, COME ON AUSTRALIA, lets not entertain this rubbish, 1,000's of couples would love to just one, let alone two.

I believe anybody (gay, straight)can make good parents just as long you have enough common sense and have the child welfare above all us. But it seems that this couple is treating this conception as a fashionable thing to do. They have really taken the gay cause to adopt and conceive as something superficial and it's bad press gay people don't need.
