Denmark parliament passed law that lesbian co-mothers have same rights

Now it is possible for both women in a lesbian relationship to be registered as legal parents of their child right from birth, even if the child was conceived through artificial insemination. The parliament decided today. Until now it has only been the biological mother and father, who were regarded as the legal parents - even if the father was just a sperm donor. This meant that the so-called medmoder, ie. the other woman in the relationship, had no rights. "I was so happy when the law was passed. At that time the government program was published, there was a lot of nice people who wrote to me about that particular point and asked when it came to happen, "said SF's family spokesperson Anne Baastrup. The change was part of the government program, but also Unity, and Liberal Alliance voted for in Parliament. More equality: The amendment means that co-mothers to children conceived by artificial insemination are now covered by the Children Act on equal footing with fathers.
