The truth is, the commodification of children is wrong. To requisition, manufacture, and purchase a child is wrong.

My friend and Catholic author Leila Lawler astutely asked on Facebook, “How is it possible that men can dominate and exploit women and children in this way — all socially acceptable?”

Indeed, how is it possible? The answer, of course, is that it is socially acceptable because the celebration of homosexuality by society demands it.

For all the times the accusation of treating women like breeders is bitterly thrown at the Catholic Church and Christians in general, somehow when gay men literally use women as their breeders it’s worthy of applause.

I think the parallel phenomena of effective birth control and stronger fertility medicines and techniques have led to the idea:

I am entitled to a child
This child will arrive on a timeframe of my choosing
Nobody can tell me “no”

So, rather than seeing a baby as a person who was brought into your life for a reason, baby is an entitlement.
 
If in-vitro fertilization, then gay adoption. The logical work you have to do to support one without supporting the other involves the equivalent of counting angels on the head of a pin.
