What is the episode's central warning about a 'culture of death' and sanctity of life?
Welcome to Politics by Faith. It's where we take the news of the day and then we bring it to the Bible so we can walk away with some peace and perspective. New headlines every day, but Ecclesiastes says there's not the new one this time. So thanks for being here to get the true story. The story of the day today, a modern day baby global trade system. What? I have two horrific stories to share. Two stories that I don't think most of us have had the time to wrap our head around as an issue in our country. And then we'll talk about the right way to view all this. The big category this falls under is sanctity of life. It's an expression we've heard before, we've all said it a million times, heard it before, oh, the sanctity of life.
What does that mean, though? Sanctity means holiness, a state of being sacred or holy. The original definition applies to the goodness or the purity of something. So we need to protect the sanctity of life. I have two stories here of us not doing that. The first, St. Augustine, Florida. A woman decided to be a surrogate mother. So we took someone else's egg, someone else's sperm, put them together, and then put them inside of this woman. This woman is the surrogate. She gave birth to triplets 20 months ago. So I heard the story and I wonder, well, how often surrogacy results in multiple births because of the IVF process? So a natural conception, about 1-2%, you have a 1-2% chance of twins. With IVF, it's a 10% chance.
So this person had triplets. She was having a baby for a single man in China. Now, let's stop here for one moment. I can begin to understand. I can see the perspective of a woman perhaps wanting to bless a couple with a child. I get it. But to have that desire and instead it results in giving a baby to a single guy in China? That's not exactly the vision. I mean, the vision is, oh, surrogate mother, I know this couple, they just can't get pregnant, and they want their own baby with their own DNA. Oh, I'm going to give them that. I get that. Be like, well, there's a guy in China. What? Also, a sidebar to this story, the baby, or the three babies in this case, would be U.S. citizens. They can spend like a week in America and then get shipped off to China, never step foot in this country ever again, and they're U.S.
citizens. And they'll be able to vote when they turn 18 and they'll be able to donate to campaigns and go to American colleges and all that. They're American citizens. Amazing. So we're going to make the legality of... Legality and morality of surrogacy, but at least can we settle that single guy from China shouldn't be able to pay a woman to have his baby? That's not in the spirit of what we're even trying to do here. So they signed their contract. They signed a birth plan. She gave birth, right? She said that this guy intended to or was in the process of getting a visa to come to the U.S. to pick up his children. Long story short, he never showed. They were in the NICU for two months because they're triplets, right?
So they were born early. So mom and her husband, she was married, not the guy in China. She's married to another guy. She and her husband, they brought the kids home from the NICU and started to take care of them because the dad, the Chinese guy, never came to pick them up. And they started to care for these kids as if they were their own kids.
How did the St. Augustine surrogacy case unfold and what legal custody issues emerged?
He still never showed up. She even offered to fly to China to drop them off in China to him.
This is an email. It said the intended parent, that's what he's called, the intended parent, told Simpson that he will be asking his friend and an agent to pick up the babies. Simpson said around that time, two men in a black SUV showed up to her home, but she did not know who they were. She said, I don't feel comfortable doing all these things and you're not coming to get them. She wrote this in an email. I said, either you or the people you enlisted. In the case you passed away, can come pick these kids up or a representative from the agency, but I'm not handing them over to no strangers.
