Qld not to have discriminatory surrogacy laws

Brisbane Times is reporting that the Newman government has shelved plans to have discriminatory surrogacy laws. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of opposing what would have been regressive laws. For me this is a joyous moment. When I and others drew the line in the sand over this issue, I saw that we had an almost zero chance of success, but that it had to be fought, tooth and nail. I feel like I have had a terrific weight lifted off my shoulders!
