Article here. Excerpt:

'A group of unusual allies gave presentations to a Senate health committee Wednesday, urging more regulation for assisted reproduction.

Researchers from Christian groups, as well as a prominent abortion-rights group, the National Organization for Women, said the United States has become a "Wild West" for "commercial surrogacy" that exploits and endangers women.

A host of ethical concerns surrounding fertility treatments were raised, including the case of a Topeka man who donated sperm to a lesbian couple.
...
William Marotta, the Topeka man embroiled in a legal battle with the state after answering a lesbian couple's online ad for a sperm donor, was mentioned, but Wednesday's presentations mostly focused on fertility treatments' effects on women.'

I've noticed feminists and traditionalists when their common goals include stuffing men into the "traditional role" box they like them to be in. Traditionalists of course live in la-la land w/ their Leave It to Beaver fantasies while feminists know that if men stay in the traditional role of breadwinner, they will get the shaft when mom takes off with the kids and in any case, mom needn't become one anyway.

But what's funny re the feminists is that just a few decades past, they were all abt women having repro rights and options in whatever way possible they could, including having the right to rent out their uterii to whomever, etc. Now we see NOW getting cranky abt it. Funny.
