Irish Politics

As Ireland approaches election time, there is buzz amidst surrounding surrogacy law.  At this time, surrogacy is not legally protected in Ireland – and although there isn’t speculation that movement on this issue will happen before the election, the issue is certainly on the radar.  Some in opposition of same-sex marriage are bundling up the issue of surrogacy law within their dissent – Even though surrogacy does not primarily benefit same sex couples.  The same rhetoric that has been spewed against LGBTQ people for other rights is being spewed here – Supporting “traditional family values,” means keeping those radical queers from reproducing.  (I’m not bitter I promise)

There are a number of complications when considering the ethics of surrogacy far beyond

Here is an interesting piece about this issue and some other complications being discussed at this decisive time.
