A Christian social commentator has castigated a lesbian couple in Australia describing their legal action to seek damages after giving birth to twins instead of a single child as ‘sheer madness’ and a ‘mind-boggling lunacy.’
Bill Muehlenberg, a Christian commentator who previously held various positions within different Australian Christian political-advocacy ministries, had called the legal case initiated by the homosexual-couple on Tuesday, as being one of ‘the greatest slaps to children and their fundamental needs.’
He goes further, saying the two girls of the lesbian couple were being denied the most basic fundamental right of being born into a family; moreover, after this case, one of the child was now being condemned to know that their own ‘mother’ publicly declared that she wished the child had never been born.
“First, these two lesbians are denying the two girls (who are now three years of age) one of the most basic and fundamental of all human rights: the right to be born into a family with one’s own biological father and mother. As has been shown time and time again in the social science research, there is nothing better for a child than to have been born and raised in a biological two-parent family, preferably a married family,” he wrote on his web-log.
“Not only has this lesbian couple deprived these girls of a father, but they are now condemning at least one of them to a life of rejection and misery by wishing she had never been born. What an incredibly anti-child state of affairs this is. Imagine growing up knowing that your own “mother” has publicly declared that she wished you had never been born. How will this poor girl cope?”
The lesbian couple is seeking more than $400,000 in compensation from the doctor who had performed their IVF treatment at the Australian Capital Territory Supreme Court alleging the ‘wrongful birth of a child.’
