Oh dear. I've just read the MPs' question. I shall take the charitable view that he hasn't thought through what he is saying, but it does confirm my feeling that the soft issue of [maternity] leave was potentially being used as a means to push for legalisation of surrogacy.

I mean by legalisation "pre-birth agreements enforcable through criminal law".

Yes, I saw that, but I think he may have been just handwaving a bit.

I think that's probably true, but it's certainly clear that the MPs don't seem to have any objection to giving some form of maternity rights to parents in these circumstances.

Care2Causes still misrepresenting it, I see, but though they're able to send me a reset password and agree I've reset it they won't let me comment using the same, so I can't comment over there/
