Men do not have the same equal opportunities that women have which makes it harder for couples to have a child without paying thousands because a woman has a child already.
It should be made mandatory that men are able to recieve funded ivf on the NHS to enable men to have children too if there is a medical issue which is harder for them to have children naturally.
