I'm not sure I agree with the 'having a child is not a right' argument. It's not like a particular child, born into a difficult family environment ever had a chance to be born in a good environment to different parents in a different relationship!

We cannot pick and chose who create us, we are either created or not. The question is, is despite being born in an awful family without love or caring, would those that found themselves in that position still choose life, or would they choose never to have existed at all. Those are the only two possibilities that can ever have existed.

Back on topic, I personally think it's blooming marvellous that these days homosexual couples can adopt or even create children (given surrogacy). Good on them and may the force be with them as far as I'm concerned.
