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

To deliberately deny a child his mother (or father) to validate the sexual preferences of the adults is many things, but it certainly is not love. It is cruel and selfish. To try to construct a family that only serves the wants of the adults, while dismissing the genuine needs of the child is not love. It is not admirable. Children are the ones with inviolate rights here, not the adults.”

 
To quote from the article: "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."

The commodification of babies is just plain wrong.
 
I have a friend who’s got two kids, courtesy of a sperm donor. She and her wife (according to American civil law) were very excited that both could have the SAME donor, thus recognizing the importance of this biological connection. I am sure that the two of them are very loving and nurturing to the children, but it is sad that kids were created to be placed in a deliberately broken situation. (Those of you who see nothing wrong with same-sex parents, of course, will no doubt disagree and point out how much better off these kids are than kids who are born to drug-addicted abusers.)
 
This is a very sad time in our culture. The children will pay the price for this fantasy and hopefully will do better when it’s their turn to be parents.
 
This is in no way the homosexuals fault. The fault lies in heterosexual divorce, contraception, and artificial insemination. Homosexuals are still a small percentage of the population. As a culture we got to the point of approving of their activity because we first approved of the same in heterosexuals. The homosexual arguments actually make some sense if what most heterosexuals believe and how they act is acceptable.

Even if we stopped the horror of homosexuals abusing children by bringing them into their unions we wouldn’t be stopping the more widespread abuse brought about by heterosexual out of wedlock births, artificial insemination, and divorce and remarriage.

This point is also made in the linked National Catholic Register article. An excerpt:

We are faced with two competing worldviews. The Catholic worldview, and up until recently the worldview of all Christian denominations is this: Every child (and hence every adult) has identity rights and relational rights with respect to their parents. And this is the part we do not like to say too loudly: These rights impose legitimate obligations on adults to provide these things to children.

The competing worldview is this: Every adult has a right to the sexual activity he or she wants, with a minimum of inconvenience, and children have to accept whatever the adults choose to give them. We do not just blurt out that last part explicitly because we would be ashamed of ourselves if we said it out loud.
