The document also unequivocally states the Roman Catholic Church’s opposition to surrogacy, whether the woman carrying a baby “is coerced into it or chooses to subject herself to it freely” because the child “becomes a mere means subservient to the arbitrary gain or desire of others.”
Interesting take on surrogacy. I believe, Mary, the mother of Jesus was the OG surrogate.
For decades I have had colleagues, friends and family who are LGBTQ, and when it comes to dealing with LGBTQ people my impression is that most Americans are willing to live and let live as far as adults are concerned.
However, I also think most Americans do not support drag shows for minors; puberty blockers and irreversible surgery for minors; trans-male-to-female people competing in women's sports; gender-hiding clothes for children; schools and teachers who promote sexual identity change of students without notifying parents; etc.
What consenting adults do with and to each other and themselves is their own business; what is done with and to minors is the business of the minors' parents and of society at large.
