Trad cons are less effective at arguing against surrogacy because they will not say the obvious which is that men shouldn’t be able to have children independent of women.   No it’s not the same as sperm donors. No, single fathers aren’t “better than single mothers”.   Men abandoning their kids and or being otherwise degenerate is the reason we have so many single mothers to begin with. The few who raise a child on their own are the exception, not the rule, and even they do not generally raise a child on their own from birth. They are usually divorced raising older children.
