LABOR PAINS: Don’t have time to blog about this now. I have a lot to say here. Here’s a more in-depth story that gets at some of the particular weirdnesses, tragedies, and dramas of the situation–“devout” Catholic homosexual couple a) uh, is a homosexual couple; b) procures the services of a surrogate mother; c) with IVF; d) and then–asks for? allows? not totally clear–the abortion of one child when it turns out that the surrogate mother has become pregnant with quintuplets, and carrying them all to term would endanger her health and possibly her life. But all I really want to talk about is b). More later, either tomorrow or Saturday.
