Children are the losers in civil partnership bill

IT seems to me the Civil Partnership Bill is a carbon copy of the strategy on divorce.

A minority party is naming its price for its support and this is being acceded to without regard to the effect on society. In divorce, the state accepted that marriage was only for as long as it lasted.

In the Civil Partnership Bill, the state is going further: it is saying marriage is whatever you want to make of it yourself. The price in both cases is being paid by a group hardly mentioned in divorce and not mentioned at all in the Civil Partnership Bill: children.
