CARDINAL ATTACKS LESBIAN IVF PLANS
The role of fathers would be "radically undermined" by legislation aimed at making it easier for lesbian couples to become parents through fertility treatment, the most senior Roman Catholic clergyman in England and Wales has warned.
Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor expressed strong opposition to the proposed legislation contained in the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill to be debated in the House of Lords.
The Bill includes recognition of same-sex couples as legal parents, and removes the necessity for IVF clinics to consider the "need for a father" when exercising their duty to take account of an unborn child's welfare.
In a letter to The Times, the Cardinal said: "The Bill proposes to remove the need for IVF providers to take into account the child's need for a father when considering an IVF application, and to confer legal parenthood on people who have no biological relationship to a child born as a result of IVF.
"This radically undermines the place of the father in a child's life, and makes the natural rights of the child subordinate to the desires of the couple. It is profoundly wrong."
The Cardinal called on Gordon Brown to follow the example of the Opposition parties and allow Labour members of both Houses of Parliament a free vote on the Bill.
His intervention comes as family campaigners stepped up opposition to the plans.
Former Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith said the legislation would drive a "nail in the coffin" of the traditional family.
But Ben Summerskill, chief executive of the gay rights group Stonewall, said the Bill would merely extend the right already available to heterosexuals.
The Bill would open the door to experiments involving human animal hybrid embryos including "cytoplasmic" embryos, which are 99.9% human, and "true hybrids" carrying both human and animal genes.

Not only is it profoundly wrong, it's pure evil. The rights of a child to grow up in a natural environment as nature intended should be protected. This amounts to nothing less than brainwashing and conditioning children from birth to think homosexual behavior is normal instead of an unnatural perversion.
Interspecies hybrids? What's up with that? How does this uplift the human condition?

Shades of Valerie Solanas.

WHAT THE HECK?
This is what the feminists have wrought....FATHERLESS CHILDREN!
I'm still waiting for some group to take my idea and put up large billboards outside of sperm donation centers that read "Do You want Your Sons to be Raised by Lesbians?"
“The Bill would open the door to experiments involving human animal hybrid embryos including “cytoplasmic” embryos, which are 99.9% human, and “true hybrids” carrying both human and animal genes.”
We’re heading towards 9 billion people on this planet, many of whom live in dire poverty, and they come up with this.
“Belittling men has always been part of their agenda.

Your billboard would be defaced in no time. PFOX put up a billboard here in Richmond, Va., saying that homosexuals can change and this is what happened. I’m not sure how long the billboard was on display, but I think it was only a few days.
“Belittling men has always been part of their agenda.”
I don’t understand why feminists don’t learn more from the inner city. When boys/men do not assume the role of father/protector/provider for their families, they do things like join gangs. My theory is that not having a father at home and having few male teachers in school encourages inner city youth to band together with other males in gangs. Male energy has to go somewhere, and if they don’t find a legal productive role, they’ll find another outlet.
I mean, they want to be mothers without a dude to protect them from the impending social collapse in Britain.
The Butch babes over there must be tough!
Or maybe the gurly men are the reason why this is happening.
This is actually about the intergenerational transmission of the gay lifestyle.
Gay Women of Britain Untie! You have nothing to lose but some semen!
