Surrogacy is evil because it commodifies children and exploits women. But adoption into disordered homes isn't a lesser evil, it's a different one. It severs a child from the right to a mother and father, and calls the result "love." The soft Right won't say this. Some even defend it. That’s not compassion. That’s cowardice, and it's betrayal.
I work in early childhood. A young boy, a toddler whose parents the state of RI deemed unfit for various reasons, one being mentally deficiency, took the boy away when he was a baby depriving him of his mother. Who did the child end up with, a lesbian couple who were unstable. One lesbian "transitioned" into a "man" while still in this same sex relationship. The relationship ended. The woman who appeared as a man, retained custody of the now 2 year old,and eventually adopted the boy. Now the boy has one false parent who, frankly has no skin in the game with this little chap. Pray for him.
I think this surrogacy practice is as morally reprehensible as child sex trafficking, but only more so because it is legal and seen as a good thing by surprisingly many people. That so many accept or even endorse this practice saddens me greatly.
Surrogacy is prostitution where the woman sells her body for money. The child is not necessarily trafficked. But to 2 homos, that possibility increases.
Churches helped normalize biblically prohibited pairings in exchange for receiving and maintaining their tax exempt status. If they don’t accept the government requirements they face fines and penalties. The Schofield bible was another way of corrupting Biblical teachings. Seminary schools and religious leaders have “drunk the Kool Aid”. Do your own research - think for yourself. Great article Sarah.
Civil laws have always been at a lower moral level than Christian standards. We should lower our expectations regarding Political Conservatives. First, clergy and ministers need to preach against homosexuality and surrogacy and other vices...before public opinion and voters will reject them.
It means that the eventual outcome is that they send each other to Hell. While a married couple's union is ordered towards children, and toward helping each other get to Heaven, the homosexual couple's outcome can only be negative. Its only "outcome" is internal injury (as are so common) and the rejection of God. Homosexual spouses implicitly assert, "I care about the pleasure this union gives me more than your eternal salvation."
It means homosexual acts are inherently dishordered. So two homosexuals, in sexual congress, are just exploiting each other. Similar to how prostitution is mutual exploitation. The man exploits the woman for sex and the woman exploits the man for money.
How are they exploiting eachother in sexual congress? A theoretically “real” homosexual couple engaging in intercourse isn’t really comparable to a paid intercourse with a prostitute… i understand the exploitation argument in the prostitute’s case but not really in a homosexual couple’s case: the homosexuals will say that they love eachother (in the same fashion a regular heterosexual couple loves eachother) and so the exploitation argument seems to be ruled out, unless there’s something i’m missing, which is what i was asking about originally.
These two shouldn't be within a thousand miles of any child!

Horrific. 🙏🏼
Thank you Sarah for addressing this issue again.

What does it mean that homosexual relationships are “ordered towards mutual exploitation”??
It means that the eventual outcome is that they send each other to Hell. While a married couple's union is ordered towards children, and toward helping each other get to Heaven, the homosexual couple's outcome can only be negative. Its only "outcome" is internal injury (as are so common) and the rejection of God.

Thank you! I’ll read it in a bit

Why is a Christian defending homosexual acts?
I’m not, i’m probing for logical arguments. Iron sharpens iron.
I don't know where all these queers are coming from, but I am positive it isn't organic.
Thank you, Sarah, for putting the real issues plainly and simply.
Is it too much to ask our bishops and priests to do the same?
Joe.
