Lesbian Pair Sue For Cost Of Twin

or, how to alienate your child from you forever. And you'll deserve it.

These people are idiots. Pure and simple. Let's break this down.

'A lesbian woman felt violated and devastated when she learned she was pregnant with twins, after she had told a Canberra obstetrician she only wanted one child through IVF, a court heard yesterday.'

So, after fighting for the right to have a child as a same-sex couple, they're now whining about how many they've got. Not to mention the sheer gumption to complain when there are so many people who are unable to have any children at all because they lack the funds to pay for IVF. As far as I am aware, IVF usually consists of multiple implants to ensure success and prevent multiple cycles which are invasive and difficult psychologically. It's also fairly obvious they got it done in Canberra so they could move straight out after things were moving.

'In what is believed to be the first case of its kind in the territory, a former Canberra woman and her female partner are suing obstetrician and gynaecologist Sydney Robert Armellin for the wrongful birth of one of their twin girls, now aged three, claiming more than $400,000 for the cost of raising her to the age 21.'

Well, that's just dandy. How to make your kiddies feel welcomed into their life, which is going to be difficult enough given they have lesbian parents. No matter how 'tolerant' our society is, these kids are going to get stick, no matter what the story books say. To get it at home from my two mums is not going to help. And $400K? Is that all she thinks it's going to cost? Sheer, unadulterated money-grubbing. Where did they find their lawyer?

'She and her partner, who were living in Watson at the time, had planned to go to England after the birth, but their plans were scrapped when they discovered they would be having twins, jeopardising their careers, relationship and health'

'"We argued and we had a terrible time with the stress of what we had expected to be a time of great joy."'

Oh, schnookums. Guess what, a child or children, brings that sort of stress to any new parent. Poor wee things couldn't take their new trophy child on a trip to England. Guess what? Not many people can. And there's a fun key word in there: 'expect'. Nobody knows what's going to happen after their children are born. Did your kids put a dent in your perfect little plan? Did your kids inconvenience your social whirl? Did having twins stress you so badly that you couldn't get your face on the cover of OUT for being so brave?

'They chose to use sperm from a Danish donor, as one of the women's father was German.'

Oh, that makes perfect sense...oh, wait no it doesn't. No clue at all. None. You can't plan a single thing - it's in the lap of the gods. If you want to plan, prepare for disappointment. What kind of thought processes did these women engage to get to this point? Dumb ones. They probably bought a whole bunch of stuff and picked out a bunch of crap names and then got the shock of their lives when it didn't all pan out when they checked their project plan on their computer.

These women are complete morons and I hope their identities are no longer suppressed by the judge. They deserve to be shown for the utter witless fools that they are. This is life, kids, get used to it. They should, like anyone, have had to go through a screening process before being allowed to have this procedure. It's pretty obvious they just wanted a little plaything and when the cold, hard light of reality dawned on them, they realised they didn't really want kids. Stiff shit.

Aren't you putting your kids through enough without making them think one of them shouldn't have been there? Is it not enough that their father is an unidentified Danish man 'because one of thier fathers was German?' They had even considered aborting a perfectly healthy fetus.

Pull yourselves together and be human about this. This is disgraceful behaviour, I don't care if they're gay or straight, this sort of stuff shouldn't even make it to court. I sincerely hope your children find out about this and tear you apart, and with any luck, are straight-laced, buttoned-down Christians just to to really wind you up.
