Sweden will as of July 1 allow lesbian couples who want to have children to undergo fertility treatments, parliament voted on Friday.
Under the new law, "lesbian couples will be allowed to have children through artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization (IVF) in Sweden," the parliament said in a statement.
Until now, only women married or living with a man were entitled to undergo
the treatments.
