I enjoyed the article, and I confess that I had no idea that surrogacy can run up to $150,000! Holy smokes! I wonder what the cheapest surrogate would run someone wanting to have a child of their own? |

Because there is so much legal and financial hoopla when gay couples want to have kids, you end up having families that tend to be more secure and committed. Compare that to some heterosexual couples who have kids by accident. What this article discusses does not surprise me, and it provides further evidence that counters homophobic reasoning behind denying these people their livelihood.

Isn't it cute when the left rams through more abstract social experimentation on defenseless children?

Current Mood: | Re: More gay men embrace marriage, fatherhood. How long until we see a push to make the public offset the higher costs that 2 gay men incur when using a surrogate mother as opposed to 2 lesbians who simply need a sperm donor?
I mean, wouldn't that be faaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrrr? |
