Well on this one I can agree with the "Pro-lifers?", or the not extreme left hollywood gang?  To correct this writer, just because a few Hollywood actors are willing to conceive & use women this way does not mean all liberals or democrats would support them. Conservatives-rich ones, & republicans also use surrogates to conceive children.  I agree this is just a bad idea.  It inevitably becomes abuse of poor women who need money & often regret their decision after bonding with the pregnancy growing in their womb.  This should be logically expected.  That any one should expect to be allowed to use this process to gender choose or demand the surrogate mother abort extra fetus' the biological parents don't want is abhorrent and should be illegal and I believe surrogate contracts should also be illegal. We don't have to protect these kinds of legal contracts and if we didn't there would be less of this happening.  Rich folks need to adopt instead or pray for conception like the rest of us.
