Katie Faust, an advocate for children's rights and the unborn, delivers a powerful critique of surrogacy as more than a medical option—she argues it’s a moral crisis. Discussing the dark realities behind the commodification of children, Faust reveals the severance of maternal bonds and the ethical implications for family structures. She highlights societal risks when adult desires overshadow children's rights, calling for a reevaluation of contemporary parenting in a rapidly changing landscape.

Children Made, Not Begotten
Surrogacy is changing how children are brought into the world, from being begotten to being made.
It's presented as progress, but it severs children from their mothers by design, and increasingly, by commerce.

We are entering an age where children are made, not begotten; commissioned, not conceived; designed, and delivered to order, like a handbag or custom suit. These children’s stories don’t begin with a sperm and and egg, but with a signature and a lawyer. And in the eyes of our culture, this is not tragedy. It’s progress.Across the West, surrogacy is sold as compassion—an act of love for the infertile. It is framed as fulfillment for the same-sex couple. It is presented as relief for the hopeful parent with no biological path forward. But beneath the glossy language of “choice” and “family” lies a darker truth: children are being deliberately severed from their mothers, not by death, not by accident—but by design. And increasingly, by commerce.Recently, Jordan Peterson sat down with Katy Faust. It should have been another routine exchange—thoughtful, careful, reasonable. But it wasn’t. Faust confronted Peterson, and by extension, the moral schizophrenia of the modern Right: a movement that claims to uphold the family even as it normalizes its destruction.Surrogacy is not simply a medical option—it is a moral crisis. It reorders the very foundations of parenthood, identity, and human dignity. A society that affirms this practice will not remain a society for long, because no nation can endure that builds itself on the backs of children who have been severed from the ones who bore them.This episode is brought to you by our premier sponsors, Armored Republic and Reece Fund, as well as our Patreon members and donors.

Then we unpack the Peterson–Faust conversation, and expose why surrogacy is not just a cultural debate—it’s a test of whether we still believe in human order and dignity.
