Fox News political analyst Guy Benson is receiving congratulations from across conservative media after announcing the birth of his daughter, Madison Halsey.
“She’s here, and she’s perfect,” Benson wrote in a post that quickly racked up more than 10,000 likes.
“We are blessed and overjoyed to welcome Madison Halsey into the world and into our family.
Our hearts are filled to the brim.
A baby girl.
We are just so thankful.”
However, BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey doesn’t share his excitement.
“You’ve heard my spiel on surrogacy a lot, but when we create these children, especially in this situation where you are buying the eggs from one woman, you are renting the womb from another woman," she says.
“So you’re taking a child away from their biological mother, you are placing them in an unrelated woman whose smell and touch and heartbeat and body they get to know, they call home for nine months," she continues.
“And then you immediately take that child after birth away from the only home, the only smell, the only regulator, the only woman they have ever known and away from the biological mom with whom they share half of their DNA.
We are treating that child worse than we treat kittens and puppies,” she adds.
For kittens and puppies, the natural bond between a mother and her litter is respected.
“But for some reason, when it comes to human babies who are much more fragile, who are much less resilient, and of course as Christians, we believe are made in God’s image and so matter infinitely more than a cat or a dog, we say, ‘Eh, it’s probably fine,’” Stuckey says.
“It is the prioritization of adult wants over children’s needs,” she adds.
But it’s not just purposely taking children away from their biological mother that bothers Stuckey, noting that the entire process has “physical consequences for the child.”
“It’s much more risky for the embryo.
It’s much more risky, or riskier, for the baby as well during conception, during transfer and implantation, during gestation,” she explains.
“But then of course, you’re creating this emotional and psychological, physiological risk too,” she continues, before playing a TikTok video of a man in a homosexual relationship claiming his son cries for his “mommy” despite never knowing his mother.
“This is very common.
This is natural.
This is instinctive.
Somewhere deep inside, we want to know where we came from.
We want our mom.
That does not mean that two men who are raising a child don’t love their child,” she says.
“It means that they’re not a mom.
You can be a really good dad, but you will never be a mom,” she adds.
