    Sex-selective abortion is not uncommon, but is an uncomfortable ethical quandry.

    Do conservatives really object to the use of surrogates, or only when they’re used by gay couples?

    TBH, I initially thought the comic was going to be about sex-selective abortion; I didn’t get what they were trying to say until the last panel :-/

      Using PGD they can choose a baby’s sex but it’s really expensive. Though if someone is shelling out for a surrogate already is gonna be loaded.

      What’s funny is it’s typically used by people who have very binary and old fashioned views on gender, aka conservatives. The people who think like this comic. They want both so dad can teach the boy how to play football and a girl for mom to dress up her little princess!

      I watched interviews of people who had done this and that’s literally how they described it. I don’t think there’s refunds if their kid turns out trans lol

      Objecting to surrogates would be one thing conservatives do I understand. It’s basically human trafficking
