    What shocking arrogance

    The implication that we know more than these women do about what they should do with their bodies is, frankly, shocking. Poor and ignorant are not the same as "stupid". These women have few options and fewer opportunities. Let's at least acknowledge that what they choose is none of our business. I'll decide if I want to carry a surrogate for somebody else. I won't decide if somebody else can do it.
