  Some More Thoughts About Surrogacy and Abortion

  Aug 14, 2026 ·Reason(Center)

  My post yesterday on surrogacy and abortion has generated many responses, as I had suspected. Surrogacy is one of those issues that conservatives simply don't want to talk about.

In short, a couple from California signed a surrogacy contract with a woman from Alaska. A fertilized embryo was implanted in the Alaska woman.

  Jul 30, 2026 ·The Daily Wire(Right)

  For years, the fertility industry has attacked restorative reproductive medicine with two contradictory arguments. The first is that RRM is not real medicine.
