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.

Did you know that they also ban abortion in the third trimester?

Just a bunch of backward, ignorant hicks.

Why would this be of concern to you? You are not the type of person with whom anyone would breed. Stay in your lane.

Surrogacy is here to stay, at least in the US. The most powerful people strongly support it.

Well, how novel of them basing their decision around what is best for the child, instead of treating the child as property dictated by a sales contract.

Yes, the US lack of concern about children is why they are treated like consumer goods here. In more civilized countries, surrogacy is banned because children aren’t consumer goods.

We have been told that it is just a clump of cells, a leach; a malignant growth can be excised by the host. But in this instance, they are precious children?

In the US, the people who oppose surrogacy generally also oppose abortion.

I think it’s not that simple. For one thing, opposition to surrogacy is growing quickly in the US as more and more nightmare scenarios come to light, and also as adults who were born of surrogacy start to speak out against it.

I know people who are against surrogacy who are liberal Democrats, but typically they are moderates on abortion, the classic “safe, legal, and rare” types. I wouldn’t consider that opposed to abortion.
