Womb Renters Called “Gestational Carriers.” And They Can Earn Mad Cash.

The Center for Surrogacy and Egg Donation publishes a page on their website answering any questions you might have about renting your womb, including how much you may be allotted for a “selective reduction.”

I find the whole thing rather unsettling. The Catechism calls it “gravely immoral.”

I know that so many people struggle to have children. I know the pain of losing children. It’s terrible. But this whole industry of womb renting is fraught with dangers.

We saw it recently when a surrogate mother refused to terminate an unborn baby and the biological parents argued that the unborn baby rightfully belonged to them and it was their choice. The surrogate felt forced to flee to save the baby.

Just take a look at the coldness of this. They’re talking about bringing a new life into the world. And it’s all monetized. And in the mix there is how much you’d get for a “selective reduction.”

Tolls. Tolls and parking. It’s a business arrangement to them. Wealthy people want something and they get it. So many poor women will be exploited by this.

The thing is that this all seems to fit in with the racist ideals of the abortion movement. Margaret Sanger didn’t want minority babies. So hey, brand new idea, let’s pay minorities to have beautiful white babies. Score!!! It’s all so dehumanizing. As always, prayers are needed.
