About this episode
Today, we discuss the evil practices of surrogacy and egg- and sperm-selling, as highlighted by a recent video of a same-sex male couple who adopted a newborn baby. How has the practice of surrogacy and tearing children away from their mothers become so commonplace in America? What are the impacts of motherless or fatherless homes? And what does this mean for Christians in the culture war?
