It wasn’t long ago that most every Democrat was of the opinion that abortion should be “safe, legal, and rare.”
Now they openly demand that abortion be celebrated and used as a form of birth control while fighting to allow pregnancies to be terminated up until and often after the moment of birth.
And this rich couple faces outrage after making this excuse for doing something awful to their child at 20 weeks
So much for “her body, her choice”
While in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and surrogacy have allowed many American couples who would otherwise be unable to start a family of their own, some within the pro-life movement have raised issues with such practices.
They point out that the process of IVF involves creating more fertilized embryos than those that are actually utilized for a pregnancy, and that the leftovers are often indefinitely frozen or disposed of.
The issues are compounded when surrogacy is tossed into the mix.
That’s because surrogacy has become an ultra expensive practice reserved almost exclusively for wealthy elitists, who are effectively purchasing control of a struggling young woman’s body for nearly a year.
The high price tag that comes with surrogacy is obviously a tempting proposition for any young woman who is struggling financially or looking to improve her station in life.
But the big pay day also comes with extensive contractual obligations that severely restrict the young woman’s ability to make her own choices under the threat of a forced abortion – so much for “her body, her choice.”
The European Court of Human Rights has even gone so far as to declare surrogacy as a form of human trafficking.
And The Daily Mail recently published a report that illustrates why some pro-lifers have negative opinions of IVF and surrogacy.
Democrats’ dehumanization of unborn children
According to the report, Marty and Melinda Rangers, a wealthy couple in their 40s, recently decided that they finally wanted to start a family after previously prioritizing their “busy careers.”
As a result, the couple paid over $100,000 to a surrogacy agency in the hope they could help find a surrogate to bring their child into the world.
The surrogate mother was paid $65,000 to carry their child to term, while the agency kept $35,000 for its trouble and a law firm received $5,000 to draw up the surrogacy contract.
Apparently an untrusting person, Melinda proceeded to stalk the surrogate mother on social media in order to keep tabs on whether she was following the strict restrictions her and her husband placed over the young woman.
Roughly five months into the pregnancy, Melinda came to believe that the surrogate mother’s social media activity had exposed that she was drinking alcohol during the pregnancy – an allegation the young woman vehemently denied, saying she was merely drinking water.
Nevertheless, due to the surrogacy contract they drew up, the Rangers forced the young woman to abort their unborn child at the 20-weeks point of the pregnancy.
For context, by the 20th week of pregnancy, an unborn child in the womb has a fully developed heart, electrical brain activity, fingernails, hair, their permanent, adult teeth, taste buds, and can start to hear, amongst many other developments that leave no doubt it’s a human life that should be protected.
No matter how you slice it, the pro-abortion movement has so dehumanized unborn children and so diminished the value of human life, individuals who are supposedly eagerly awaiting the birth of their child are more than willing to eliminate a pregnancy over sheer paranoia, even when they have no legitimate proof of their justification.
Unborn children are a disposable commodity in the eyes of pro-abortion Democrats.
And the only way the tide will turn is through a major cultural shift within the hearts and minds of Americans.
