#i wonder why surrogacy would be illegal though?
#in my mind it's such a normal thing. i can't really picture WHY people would be against it tbh.
I don't want to get into it but feel free to read the "Ethical issues" section in the Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrogacy
I feel like there is some kind of German political shenanigans going on behind this meme, I beg you to spill the tea
So, during the pandemic in 2020, Jens Spahn (CDU politician and minister of health at the time) bought 5.8 billion masks for 5.9 billion Euros, wasting taxpayer money in a deal that was and is still widely critized as corrupt, and to this day he didn't face any political consequences for it.
Surrogacy is illegal in Germany, his party is against legalizing it, and he himself spoke out against it just a few years ago. Yet, he just made it public that he and his husband became fathers via a surrogate mother in the USA. This caused a huge scandal in his party, and he now had to abdicate from being his party's parliamentary leader in the Bundestag.
Hence, his party was basically saying they can excuse corruption but draw the line at using a surrogate mother to have a child.
