OT What was wrong with Trent Franks asking his staff members if they
would be maternal surrogates? That is, if she would handle the
pregnancy for him and his wife?

All they have to do is say no. Surely no one would expect to be fired
for saying no, any more than if he asked to borrow a million dollars. In
fact since there were two of them, we can check with the first one and
see if she was demoted or fired. And I've never heard of forcible
surrogacy.

And while it is called "sexual reproduction", there would be nothing
normally called a sex act involved.

Is this some sort of Puritan nonsense?
