O’HARA, Pa. – Tagg Romney, the eldest son of presidential candidate Mitt Romney, announced via Twitter that he and his wife Jen have new twin boys, delivered by a surrogate today.
“Happy 2 announce birth of twin boys David Mitt and William Ryder. Big thanks to our surrogate. Life is a miracle,” Tagg tweeting, linking to a photo of himself and one of his new sons.
This the second time that Tagg, 42, and his wife, Jen,39, have used a surrogate. The same surrogate was used for the twins carried their youngest son Jonathan, who was born in August of 2010. Their other three children were not born via surrogacy.

I can’t understand any of this either.
Aside from the fact that Grandpa is a pod person....
” Their other three children were not born via surrogacy.”

Can’t you read?

“There are no unwanted children, just un-found families”- National Adoption Foundation
Embryos can also be donated to couples who desire children.
I can understand the pause we all get at the notion of having a baby conceived by and carried to term by a surrogate. It’s not “normal” but the genes in that sperm and egg are carried on by those living children and are as genetically related to the Romneys as their first 3 children are.
It’s not evil and it’s not bad.
Now for sure I do not think that anybody should make the wonderful and perfect non-judgemental Sager have a child by in vitro fertilization, but I should think that he is way out of line in calling for the jailing of people and calling them evil for doing what their conscience deems correct.
Again, he makes us Freepers look like hairy neanderthals.
“There are a great many pro-lifers who are opposed to IVF, because the procedure results in a great many more DEATHS of human beings than lives.”
I am pro-life, and believe life begins at conception. Ten to 20% of known pregnancies end in miscarriage, the actual number of miscarriages is unknown (thought to be up to 50%) because many pregnancies fail before the mother even knows she is pregnant. If that is the case, should we ban all conceptions because of the deaths that occur?
Some women donate embryos created through IVF for research which is wrong. But proclaiming modern fertility treatments as immoral based on that is wrong.
“So, they did it just to create unnatural babies. Everything is wrong with that.”
Unnatural babies. What does that even mean? What kind of judgement is that? A couple wanting children to the extent that they would go through all this trouble and expense are to be denigrated? What ever happened to judge not lest you be judged?
Does Christ consider them “unnatural babies”?
I have grown children
They do things that I may disagree with
Does that reflect on my values??
Are you sure you're on the right board?
I am a Christian, but I am not Catholic. I believe that God opens and closes the womb, so no amount of IVF will result in a pregnancy unless God ordains it. I also know that children are a blessing from God (Psalm 127:3). And I believe that you can still respect human life and uphold the dignity of procreation while undergoing infertility treatments.
“Those children have two mothers! The genetic mother, and the mother who carried them for nine months.”
And so do all adopted children.
“It is not a gift, they bought children”
So I bought my adopted daughter? $30,000. These terms being thrown out at random without being thought through.
Welcome to the "new and improved" Free Republic! See, we've kicked off or chased away all the rational, intelligent posters that used to contribute to this place and retained all the unhinged cranks!
Ain't it great!
Heh.
The other poster says that the medical people implanting those embryos should go to jail.
He called the Romneys evil.
You don’t think that’s a bit much?
Instead you cast aspersions on me?
Don’t bother to respond, I’ve made my case, you may have the last word.
You have your moral code. Learn to live with it. Don’t get so high and mighty when you get criticized for it.
Put a cap on that bottle before it bites you.
A paid surrogate is not an example of "modern technology." A paid surrogate is a human being who is commissioned to bear a child that is not her own--or to abort that child if she prefers since she really has no investment in the new baby's life except the fee she receives for her trouble.
Nancy Pelosi is a fine representative of the way of life and the moral code preached by her father ~
The latest in “outsourcing”...
Your last word, let me repeat it for you.
Have a nice night.
