These narratives have also gained hold in Poland, Spain and even progressive Sweden, where politicians who have taken similar lines on surrogacy and LGBTQ+ parental rights have been met with broad support.
“There is this shift in political consensus that has really happened quickly,” said Gunnarsson Payne. “It feels like the '90s was back in Sweden — increased racism, right wing populism and now, these debates [about gender].”
This headline is a bit misleading, there are definitely good reasons to oppose using surrogates, among them the exploitation of women in poor countries.
So it should be about which countries are doing it right, and which countries shouldn’t be used for surrogacy.
There’s ways to solve for that without opposing the practice altogether.
I don’t think it’s misleading. Surrogacy needs more protection and reforms, but that doesn’t mean it’s right to stop gay people from using it. Using coal is rather bad, but blaming China and India on using it is still unfair.
