Ep 1002 | No Man Can Replace Moms
Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey
Humorous Age Reflections and Serious Talk on Surrogacy and Parenting
A mix of lighthearted banter about feeling older and serious discussions on surrogacy, IVF ethics, the significance of having both parents, and the birthright of motherhood and fatherhood in a complex world.
Today, we discuss the evil practices of surrogacy and egg- and sperm-selling, as highlighted by a recent video of a same-sex male couple who adopted a newborn baby. How has the practice of surrogacy and tearing children away from their mothers become so commonplace in America? What are the impacts of motherless or fatherless homes? And what does this mean for Christians in the culture war?
