The link between rented wombs and gay marriage

August 2, 2012 ( Mercatornet.com ) - A TV show called  The New Normal  will have its premiere on NBC in the US soon. It’s about a gay couple and the single mother they engage to have their baby. “She’s just like an easy-bake oven except with no legal rights to the cupcake,” the surrogate-mother broker tells Bryan and David. This is a hard-nosed description of the woman’s role in gay marriage and child-rearing, but it sums it up accurately. In heterosexual relationships, the birth rate rises when couples are married. One would expect similar dynamics to apply to same-sex couples . For lesbian couples, this is not a huge problem; all they need is a sperm donor. But male couples need surrogate mothers. Where will these women come from? Unless the law of supply and demand is repealed, the answer is: where wombs are cheapest. At the moment, this is India , where surrogate motherhood has become a $2.3 billion industry, with the enthusiastic encouragement of some state gove

A pro-family group is calling on citizens to boycott a new NBC television series focusing on a gay couple who obtain a surrogate to have a baby. One Million Moms, a group of mothers affiliated with American Family Association , says  The New Normal , which premieres Sept. 11th, is “attempting to desensitize America and our children.” The show features an unwed mother who offers to be a surrogate for a homosexual couple to make money for law school, a plan she postponed when she found out she was pregnant with her now 8-year-old daughter. In the trailer, the woman’s grandmother is portrayed as a racist, anti-gay, southern conservative Christian who implies that she would have aborted her daughter if she had realized she was pregnant soon enough. The  trailer  depicts the homosexual couple asking the woman if she has problem being a surrogate for two men. She responds saying, “A family is a family; love is love.” A  recent study  found that children raised by homose

WASHINGTON, D.C. , May 7, 2012,  In 1992, Vice President Dan Quayle criticized the sitcom  Muphy Brown  to task for undermining the nuclear family . Twenty years later, another Vice President is crediting television with redefining the family. In a controversial “ Meet the Press ” interview Sunday,  Joe Biden appeared to endorse same-sex “marriage,”  saying he was “absolutely comfortable” with granting same-sex couples the same privileges enjoyed by traditional families. Biden  told  NBC’s David Gregory that society had changed its views on marriage, thanks largely to one television program. Biden credited " Will and Grace " for changing society's view of marriage. “I take a look at when things really begin to change, is when the social culture changes. I think ‘Will and Grace’ probably did more to educate the American public than almost anything anybody’s ever done so far,” he said. “This is evolving.” The popular sitcom, which featured a homosexual character and his
