Contrary to my cynical expectations of politicans, the UK government today voted down a proposal to force anyone getting IVF treatment to have both a father and a mother. They also voted down an amendment to force IVF clinics to only allow treatment to women who could prove they had a 'male role model' for the child.

They also voted down a proposal to lower the abortion limit to 12 weeks.

So apparently they're not a total dead loss to society after all.

Yay!
