Yes vote ‘will take from right of child’ claims No vote campaigners

A group campaigning for a No vote in the same-sex marriage referendum have claimed a Yes vote next month would detract from a child’s right to a mother and father.

The group, Mothers and Fathers Matter, also revealed it was preparing a legal challenge to recent legislation on same-sex parents adopting.

Outlining their campaign ahead of the May 22 vote, the group argued that changing Article 41 of the Constitution would change the definition of marriage and the family.
