Reproductive issues have long been divided down the middle, separating the political Left and Right. Leftists promote messages of sex positivity and treat abortion as another part of women’s healthcare. Conversely, right-leaning voters share a more restrained approach to sexual ethics and unapologetically value unborn life. Rarely do women’s issues draw sustained advocacy from both sides of the aisle speaking with a shared voice. But as surrogacy becomes more common, the political Right and feminist left are finding common ground.The surrogacy industry has exploded in recent years. It has grown from a small, largely untapped market to one that is increasingly attractive to a particular demographic. Older, wealthier, and LGBTQ couples are using surrogates as a last, or sometimes first, resource on the path to building a family.Opponents argue that surrogacy exploits women’s bodies and reduces children to commodities. Those who support surrogacy reject the idea that it’s the buying and selling of children. Instead, they view it as a beautiful, albeit unconventional, way to establish parenthood. We live in a time when fertility rates in developed nations are abysmally low. As rates stay below replacement levels in many nations, surrogacy has boomed.
