More Stories | THE QUEENSLAND government will ban single people and same-sex couples from having a child through surrogacy, in a bombshell move announced during a fiery overnight debate on watering down same-sex civil unions. Attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie has announced that the state government would introduce in the future a bill to reshape the altruistic surrogacy law. Mr Bleijie said the Newman government's law would be similar to the one proposed by the Liberal National Party's Lawrence Springborg several years ago, and would repeal Surrogacy Act provisions dealing with single people, same-sex couples, or any de facto couple that had been together for fewer than two years. "That was a clear commitment many years ago when that debate originally took place," Mr Bleijie said of the future surrogacy changes. Altruistic surrogacy is the process by which a woman carries a baby for another person or couple, for no payment. The changes would restrict access to heterosexual couples only. |

In my opinion, this decision of the Queensland government to ban single people and gay couples from having child through surrogacy should be opposed in anyway possible. I mean for such a decision, is there a valid reason for them?

Mr Bleijie said the Newman rule's regulation would be kindred to the digit proposed by the Charitable Domestic Social's Lawrence Springborg different years back, besides would retract Surrogacy Portray reservations dealing accompanying individual persons, equivalent-gender duos, or some de facto unite that had been unison for fewer than twin years.
