Ep 933 | DEBATE: Should We Ban Surrogacy? | Guest: Clarkson Lawson

Today we're joined by conservative commentator Clarkson Lawson to debate the issue of surrogacy and theocratic conservatism. We start off with a discussion on surrogacy and the ethics surrounding it. Is surrogacy ever justified, and what are the issues we need to consider before condoning it? We look at how much more liberal countries have banned surrogacy and what this might mean when it comes to ethics. We also debate whether pro-life means pro-conception by any means possible and how important the mother-baby bond actually is. Then, are religious theocratic conservatives ruining the GOP, or is the foundation of Christianity necessary for conservatism to exist at all? --- Timecodes: (00:58) Intro to surrogacy issue (05:10) Capitalism of surrogacy (09:48) Allie’s position / “will to live” (15:50) Ethical consequences / mother-baby bond (29:30) Gay couples and surrogacy (39:00) Gifts vs. rights (42:11) Are religious theocratic conservatives ruining the GOP? --- Today's Sponsors: We Heart Nutrition — nourish your body with research-backed ingredients in your vitamins at WeHeartNutrition.com and use promo code ALLIE for 20% off.
