But the infertility of same-sex couples also confers an advantage. As Regnerus acknowledges, ?Today?s children of gay men and lesbian women are more apt to be ?planned? (that is, by using adoption, IVF, or surrogacy) than as little as 15?20 years ago, when such children were more typically the products of heterosexual unions.? In fact, ?Given that unintended pregnancy is impossible among gay men and a rarity among lesbian couples, it stands to reason that gay and lesbian parents today are far more selective about parenting than the heterosexual population, among whom unintended pregnancies remain very common, around 50%.? And the more planned your child is, the more likely it is that she?ll turn out well. Based on previous research, Regnerus predicts that outcomes among children of stable, planned same-sex families are ?quite likely distinctive? from outcomes among children of failed heterosexual unions.
