| sTreetAngeL root tedt ree  in a paradox, | #31  Mar 05, 2012 @ 16:40:40 @PrinceMonolulu Said  Dont see how them being lesbian has anything to do with this law needing reconsidering, straight couples use sperm doners too. Well for one thing, the lay 'usually' sides with the mother. The child has two of them in this case. | ||||||

| Jennifer1984 Olympic Junkie  Penzance, United Kingdom | #32 Mar 05, 2012 @ 16:45:30Custody battle between estranged couple. Shocker. Tut, Hoppy.... this really is a non-issue unless you happen to be either one of the estranged women, or the child. Still, if you think it's some sort of stick to beat lesbian couples with, you go right on ahead. <rolls eyes upwards and shakes head sadly> . | |||||||

| Jennifer1984 Olympic Junkie Penzance, United Kingdom | #33 Mar 05, 2012 @ 16:54:08 @alk1975 Said I love the arguments against homosexuality. They are like holey buckets. All you have to do is pick a place where the water is pouring out and point. It's always good to see a new analogy for this sort of homophobia, that shows it for what it is, Alk. I hadn't seen this particular one before. I hope you won't mind me nicking it and putting it up on other sites that I frequent. I rather like it and it sums up this branch of homophobic practice quite succinctly. Thanks for sharing. xx . | ||||||

If anything, this may serve as a good step in defining how custody battles are resolved. Often times the father gets the shaft. It would be nice to actually have custody based on something besides gender. | ||||||

This one in particular is different because one woman supplied the egg and the other woman carried the fetus. Technically, that means that the one who carried is only a surrogate but she didn't sign away her rights like a normal surrogate would (since they're not normally a part of the couple). That's why they mentioned the rights of sperm and egg donors. I completely agree with your last point. | ||||||

In some ways it changes things but in others not at all. Both have a stake. One genetic and one developmental (what would carrying the baby be called?). Which trumps? One could think of the genetic mother as the father and the one that carried as the mother. As far as roles are defined. It should make for some interesting case law. | ||||||

| treebee Government Hooker  Moderator London, United Kingdom | #38 Mar 05, 2012 @ 20:56:428 years old is too old for this sort of s***, the child should be with the person who raised her, unless of course that person has caused her harm. Goes to show gay people really are the same as straight people doesn't it. | ||||||

| Jennifer1984 Olympic Junkie Penzance, United Kingdom | #39 Mar 07, 2012 @ 09:31:17We've been saying that for years, Treebs. Personally, I think this should be treated no differently to any other custody issue. The overriding.... overwhelming criteria above all else should be the needs of the child. I think we would all agree on that. All other considerations are subject to that overriding principle. . | |||||||
