Katy Faust Doesn’t Have Two Moms (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you search “Katy Faust,” you’ll see several results to the effect of “woman with two mothers campaigns against gay marriage.” Of course I didn’t have two mothers. No child does. I had a mother and a father, like everyone else. They were married until I was 10 and then divorced. My father dated and remarried.

They are creating a baby assembly pipeline that is virtually indistingu
Jens Spahn Fought Surrogacy for Everyone but Himself (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jens Spahn, an outspoken critic of #surrogacy, just made a birth announcement: •Heads the conservative CDU/CSU parliamentary group in Germany. •As Health Minister, he blocked legalizing even altruistic surrogacy. •2015: called renting a womb hard to stomach, even as a gay man wanting kids. •His party’s line: surrogacy banned, expansion resisted, framed as exploitation. •This week: confirms his own son was born via US surrogate.
