(Originally published in The Federalist) The “Assisted Reproduction and Surrogacy Parentage Act,” which decriminalizes surrogate motherhood in the state of Michigan, is planned to take effect in March of this year. Michigan is the last state to decriminalize paid surrogacy, and some may say it’s about time they “catch up” to the rest of the country.

Abortion training is now a standard part of OB-GYN education, with the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) requiring it while allowing doctors to opt out for moral reasons.

It is always good to see someone wrestling with truth. A progressive columnist in The Guardian writes about how she is coming to understand that human life has intrinsic dignity, but she doesn’t quite understand why.
