Equal rights for lesbian IVF couples
From Monday 31st of August lesbian couples in England and Wales who have children as the result of fertility treatment after April 6th 2009 can now register both their names on the birth certificate. This welcome change in the law means that for the first time legal parenthood is conferred on a biological mother's female partner for the first time. The CWU welcomes this development and will continue to campaign for full equality for all members of society regardless of their sexual orientation.
