Matt Walsh says Gay Surrogacy is Like “Human Trafficking”
edition of The Matt Walsh Show on The Daily Wire, the host, known for his harsh anti-LGBTQ views, discussed Fox News commentator Guy Benson’s recent announcement that he and his partner, Adam Wise, had a child via surrogacy.He blasted Benson for speaking to Parade magazine about the birth of his son, Conrad, and being a new parent, and fellow Fox News hosts for congratulating Benson on the expansion of his family.Walsh asserted that by giving the interview to Parade, Benson and Wise had implicitly opened up the discussion of the issues surrounding gay parenting and surrogacy for public debate — thereby enabling social conservatives, like Walsh, to express horror over their personal decisions.Walsh then ran two clips: one of a British-sounding gay couple talking about their experience with surrogacy and how they selected the egg donor, and the other of a former surrogate giving advice and tips to women on how to approach being a surrogate.Based on those clips, he then cast the very act of surrogacy as a selfish, immoral act akin to human trafficking.“A surrogate contractually signs her uterus over to a third party,” he says in a clip posted online by left-wing media watchdog Media Matters for America. “That third party can contractually require her to kill the child in her womb.
