Surrogacy: Important And Vital Or Unethical And Classist?

Surrogacy: Important And Vital Or Unethical And Classist?

In the midst of Trump causing high hell for everything he can regarding reproductive rights Stateside, one birth announcement caused massive controversy on the grid - a post by Lily Collins and Charlie McDowell welcoming their daughter to the world via a surrogate mother.


Twitter users went wild on both sides of the coin; one half defending the couple's right to surrogacy, referencing queer families and infertility as reasons that this method of childbirth is an inherent right, the other asking why any of us feel entitled to having kids, especially at the cost of using another person's body to make it happen. In this week's episode hosts Ione and Gina dig deep into the process of surrogacy, the morality behind reproduction as well as the reasons why this conversation is coming up in our current political climate.
