Gestational carrier…?

You would think perhaps it was a special purse for your reproductive system, but you’d be wrong.

A gestational carrier is a surrogate mother.

On the face of it, that doesn’t bother me at all. Women have been using surrogate mothers for years. But you know what does kind of bother me? The name: gestational carrier. Notice how they removed the word, “mother” from the whole equation?

It’s like basically saying you’re luggage. Very expensive luggage and we’ve placed very valuable contents inside you and you get to carry them around. In fact, you may now go by the moniker, "Samsonite." But we will not test whether you are indestructible or not. THAT would be weird.

Maybe think of it like the ultimate designer bag. But for carrying other people's babies. If you appear in public with the bio mom, I bet you have to match her outfit.

Just saying.
