IVF - Cameron ditches logic for the Vatican Vote
The Conservatives are now saying demanding lesbian couples {somehow} acquire a “Male role model” before they are permitted IVF. This is part of their standard reactionary line on such matters, which also includes taxing single parents in order to pay for further tax breaks for married couples. The standard lie first spewed out by Reagan about it being in a couple’s interests not to be married has been floated in defence of this piece of blatant statist social engineering and this is being defended with the standard line about the interests of the child. Because, of course, it is far worse to be raised by a pair of women than to not exist at all.
Rather like their approach to securing more rape convictions {increase the sentence length if found guilty. But of course! Not a total non sequiter at all, that…} it displays the sort of muddled-minded rightist bluster that tends to come from the Conservatives, rendered worrying instead of amusing by the fact that it is a bunch that are actually going to get into power. This is in fact made more likely by this policy, that keeps the Daily Mail and Redwood Lot happy while only getting minimal attention from those outside the minority under attack. A nifty piece of foot-work from a raging rightist opportunist, certainly. At best, in fact.
And to think, some still deem Cameron a social liberal…
