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.
Currently it's a bit brutal, and ethically questionable ~ in many circles.
Your argument that a surrogate may abort makes no sense and only adds hysteria to the discussion.
