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 guess most people don't even consider adoption if they are able to have their own, I get the biological drive there or whatever. But what gets me is the people that don't want to raise someone else's kids but still get into relationships with people that have kids. I've seen too many people that couldn't afford to take care of the kids they had and didn't seem to want them but still had more just so they could have ones that were "theirs".
Absolutely. Step parents who don't want to parent a kid that isn't their own are the worst offenders in my eyes. No kid should be subjected to coldness or outright hostility from a guardian figure simply because they don't share DNA with the guardian. It's so gross.
Like both sets of my parents, two of my sisters, and a step brother are like that. At this point I'm volcel just because I think the rest of my family have done enough of all that.
