I [sadly] associate with some extreme right-to-lifers through work, and they were certainly in no doubt that this was about stopping women carrying babies for a male gay couple.

This is an homophobic (and quite useless in practical terms) amendment. Any Lib Dem MPs who support this ought to be taken aside by the whips. This is NOT a matter of conscience, it’s bigotry pure and simple.

Presumably they’re now having a go at those women, often lesbians it seems, who carry a child for a gay male couple and then sometimes leave the “two dads” to bring the child up?
