Freeper truce fail: "Pro-lifers" hating on Mitt because his grandbabies were born via surrogate

There seems to be no subject these knuckle-draggers won't make a food fight out of, LOL. Cripes I can't stand the sight of Mitt but I don't care how his grandkids were born!

No way this granddad is going to stand up for traditional family values. Not gonna happen.

Kind of like the way his father Willard got the [R] nomination through “surrogates” (attacking the real Conservatives).

Next, you’ll be saying that only children conceived using the missionary position should be allowed to live. Sheesh.

Well, there have been many “positions”, traditionally speaking. All result in natural insemination.

But the matter here is an artificial/unnatural insemination and the fertilized egg being unnaturally implanted on the “womb”. There is nothing natural about this. It is like making ice-cubes. Nothing natural about it.

I am guessing too much polygamist Mormon inbreeding is keeping them from having a child naturally.

Or maybe they just have so much money they don’t want to bother with actually being pregnant.

So they had 3 children together, born by Jen; then, when he was about 40, and she 37, they had another one born via a surrogate; and now, aged 42 and 39, twins born via a surrogate.

There are real moral questions here. This is not a case of "the only way this couple could ever have children' - they had 3 already, before they started on surrogacy. I think this is over-population. And, to be frank, this does smack a bit of polygamy too - for whatever reason, sex with the first wife isn't producing children any more, so they use money to get someone else to bear them, though the legal wife will bring them up.

He espouses life from the moment of conception. So by his standards, babies die in the IVF process, but he has no problem with that.

Fucking hypocrite.
