32:38Now PlayingOn this week's episode of "One Nation Under God," host Susie Pinto and Dr. Grazie Christie dig into the case putting surrogacy back in the headlines: a Canadian surrogate being sued by the couple whose child she carried, after she says she refused their request to end the pregnancy over a cleft lip.
Dr. Grazie Christie, who's a radiologist, senior fellow at The Catholic Association and member of the Florida State Board of Education, walks through how commercial surrogacy works, what it costs and why she believes the practice can't be made ethical, arguing it turns women into what she calls reproductive labor and children into commodities, with the greatest risks falling on poor women in countries with little oversight. Speaking as the adoptive mother of a daughter, she draws a sharp line between adoption and surrogacy.
