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 the main worry is that the market forces at play will drive wealthy women to forgo pregnancy for themselves and poor women to take it up as an income source, which will mean that all of the medical and social issues that can come with having a child will become stratified by class and become yet another form of systemic oppression to add to the pile and make things worse than they are.
Basically, yeah.
Liberals usually use the excuse of "think of the poor qgays not being able to continue their bloodlineee" (obviously said in more whitewashed terms) but that's bullshit. Rich women are already using surrogacy and have been doing it for a while.
Is that common?
