When money is exchanged for pregnancy, some believe, surrogacy comes close to organ-selling, or even baby-selling.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You cannot contract to sell a baby. If they legalize this contract they may soon start bringing poor women in from other countries just to be breeders.
I've always been interested in the economics of reproduction, who gets what they want when it comes to childbearing and how these days, money is a tremendous advantage.
In the case of abortion, one pits the life of the fetus against the interests of the pregnant woman.
If you are in support of in vitro fertilization, then you have to recognize that human embryos are being created in excess of what can be used safely to reimplant for a pregnancy. So they're going to end up being discarded.
Surrogate motherhood has been the subject of much philosophical and political dispute over the years.
I was a single mother, and my boys were babies. I sold my body for food, money, and Pampers.
It's all about the fungibility and money. If Planned Parenthood accesses hundreds of millions of dollars of taxpayer money and they use that for other purposes, then they can use other dollars to fund abortion.
Surrogacy used to be difficult, because the woman that was carrying the child was biologically related to the child. And sometimes you can still do it that way, but you do not have to do it that way anymore.
I would rather do surrogacy before adopting. If I can't do it, I'd rather find someone who would do it for me.
Selling is a natural skill. It's developed as a child. You may know it as persuasion.
