What the petition asks
I want the criteria for IVF standardised across the country as everyone deserves the chance to be a parent. Fund at least one round for all those struggling to conceive, regardless of children from previous relationships.
Everyone deserves the chance to be a parent and I think it is unfair that through no fault of ours, our bodies can't do the one thing it should be able to.
The fact that you partner has children from previous relationships should not stop us women being able to become mums. Even if one round of iIVF was offered to women that can't conceive naturally then that would help us as gives us a chance at least.
