The village can help, but children raised by a mum and dad do best

Article here. Excerpt:

'Those without children can help lift the load, but the burden still lies most heavily on the actual parents, of course. Fortunately, there’s a very efficient incubator in which to maximise successful child-rearing: the emotional bond between mothers and fathers. The heterosexual family.

That last paragraph would have seemed uncontroversial over most of the span of human society, but no longer. Almost unnoticed, Labour changed the rules covering IVF in the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 2008. No longer is it only a medical intervention to assist childless couples, desperate to conceive but prevented through one or other’s infertility. Instead, Parliament fashioned it into a tool for “equality”, changing the “need for a father” in the 1990 Act to “the need for supportive parenting”. Single women and gay couples are now presumed to have a right to children, regardless of biological circumstance.
...
It is the arrogance of the Left to imagine such rules to be malleable by the will of man. They are not; and the (admirable) fear of causing offence (offence I regret I will have caused) should not lead us to remain quiet about the wrong turn our society has made, in eroding the importance of the biological father in the raising of children.'

I've noticed that there is a growing number of gay men and heterosexual single mothers who are ready to admit that the traditional family is the ideal situation for children. Anyone in either situation who can admit this is strikingly mature and intelligent.

Just comeuppance

Those who bother to read the article will perhaps be amused, as was this commenter, that two women who wanted their own biological children, who did not want to adopt, women who couldn't be bothered to get a husband, and instead went through a sperm bank, were horrified to find out that the sperm that they were inseminated with was from a man of a different race. Hey, it's about time these women admitted that they're selfishly focused on their own experience, and not focused on providing a good home for the children. When they are serious about providing a good home for a child, they will get a husband (or the equivalent thereof, if not legally recognized).
