surrogacy, Julie Bindel is right, it is human rights abuse

This paragraph:

There is one gay male couple in the UK, the Drewitt-Barlow’s who have five children through surrogacy. They’ve spent a fortune on buying these children. One of the men said ‘you get what you pay for’ when he was told that one of his children was very handsome. So the children are seen as commodities not just the women whose wombs they use. One of the most disturbing things I’ve heard from commissioning parents was from this man who insisted upon a caesarian birth with all of his children’s births. I assumed from my conversation with clinics earlier that this was something to do with health- this is horrific but I assumed that, but they told me it was because they didn’t want any of their children coming in contact with a woman’s vagina because they found that so disgusting.

Says it all to me really.

"She's doing a job for us, how often do you communicate with your builder or your gardener?"

Quote on the BBC from a British woman who paid an Indian woman to be a surrogate.
