At the bottom of this article it mentions that “all forms of surrogacy” are banned in Italy, France, Germany, and Spain.  This really surprises me that Western European countries, that are typically rather progressive, at least compared to the U.S. would have this type of policy. [/quote]

Good.  It should be outlawed in the US as well.  There is nothing progressive about wealthy women using poor women to have their babies because they don't want to lose their figured it they don't want to interrupt their careers.  Surrogacy is despicable. [/quote]

Surrogacy is amazing. If a woman chooses to do this in the US, she should be allowed to make the choice. It’s despicable to take this away.[/quote]

I will believe you next time a rich billionaire woman chooses to be a surrogate.[/quote]

[b]I have a friend who was a surrogate and she’s not poor. She’s middle class. She was a surrogate for a gay couple and then for a couple where the woman couldn’t carry a baby.[/b]

I also have two friends who could onl have children via surrogacy and neither were rich.

If you can’t have your own children, for whatever reason, the path is extremely difficult and expensive. If women are willing to be surrogates and are compensated, more power to them.[/quote]

The surrogate I know (acquaintance from HS) is also solidly middle class, maybe bumping up against UMC. She had 4 of her own kids young, easy pregnancies, and loved being pregnant. She was a surrogate twice for an infertile couple. She is also very religious and viewed it as a very "easy" thing she could do to help God build families. [/quote]
