Children have become the ultimate bargaining chip and without a radical rethink of what people like to see as their 'freedoms' that will not change. I dare say any government would just love to find a way to ensure that parenthood is universally treated with the respect and forethought that it deserves.

I see the only way to change it is to make a law change from now, existing families will have to be exempt. Not ideal but then the choice is there.
