>> I seek a choice that does not involve the loss of life of another.

It does have its little complications, though. Suppose we transfer baby A from womb A to womb B. Now we are back where we started from. The choice to abort has simply passed from the real mother to a surrogate. How shall we prevent abortion the second time? Transplant to womb C, and so ad infinitum.

But wait! Surrogate mother C bears the child, who then will not only have three mothers, perhaps all having legal rights and claims, and one hag-ridden father, but a dozen unexpected half-brothers and sisters. Pandemonium ensues -- especially on birthdays and Christmases. Then they all grow up and have scores of first half-cousins and one-third aunts and uncles and nephews and nieces or two-third aunts and uncles and nephews and nieces, some of whom may marry their half cousins, and at the weddings, which side of the aisle do you sit on?

I don’t disagree that there are complications. There are plenty of them to go around.

I will say this, woman B made the direct choice to be pregnant, no ifs ands or buts. Otherwise, why would they accept the pregnancy to begin with?

Thye argument that the pregnancy was unintentional would not hold water in the case would it?

As with adoption, parental rights are tranferred. Does pandemoinium ensue from adoption? Would this put you against adoption?
