Today we're joined by a show favorite,\xa0Katy Faust, founder of\xa0Them Before Us, to discuss big fertility's increasing presence in our culture. We talk about California's new bill that redefines "fertility" to include gay couples in an effort to make insurance cover surrogacy in those cases. Naturally, there are some drastic repercussions of green-lighting a bill like this. We explain how we're misidentifying the victims, who are always the children, and why even Christian, heterosexual couples cannot let their longing for children be put above a child's well-being. We also cover why adoption is different from IVF and surrogacy and why it's so important to understand that IVF is never ethical.\n\n---\n\nTimecodes:\n\n(01:30) Why are more people talking about surrogacy/IVF\n(03:50) California "redefining infertility" bill\n(13:13) Misidentifying victims\n(19:30) Infertile women\n(24:40) Celebrity surrogacies\n(30:05) Primal wound\n(33:30) Adoption\n(36:55) 'Ethical' IVF issues\n\n---\n\nToday's Sponsors:\n\nA'Del \u2014 go to adelnaturalcosmetics.com and enter promo code "ALLIE" for 25% off your first order!\n\nJase Medical \u2014 get up to a year\u2019s worth of many of your prescription medications delivered in advance.\xa0Go to JaseMedical.com today and use promo code \u201cALLIE\u201d.\n\nConstitution Wealth \u2014 align your values with your investments through your financial management.
