Here in (country) everyone on the left hates surrogacy with a burning passion, since it involves rich people essentially buying babies and using the bodies of poor women for their own benefit. Even the right wing parties feel sliiightly uncomfortable discussing said topics (with the exception of the extremely liberal ones who also love to act all european and modern).

Even sitcoms such as Friends or Always Sunny in Philadelphia had plotlines where this happened and they didn't pointed out how some rich fuck was taking advantage of a poor person. (Well, it was a sitcom so the poor person was either an asshole or doing it out of the goodness of their hearts, but you get the picture: whitewashing surrogacy is also bad).

So yeah, what's the deal with that? No one points out how fucked up it is???

    I think we should abolish parenthood because people shouldn't be trusted not to fuck up children just because they have the qualification of functioning genitals

    BUT i recognize that literally the entire history of the evolution of sexual reproduction is about reinforcing that drive and it's fucking stupid to go "what do you mean you want YOUR OWN kid??" like of fucking course they do

      Just because you accept that a parent has a right to be the caregiver of their kid doesn't mean you accept they should be allowed to do so with no oversight whatsoever
