Sarah Jessica Parker: Surrogacy On The Rise In Britain After Star Used A Surrogate Mother | UK News | Sky News
The number of women offering to carry a baby for another woman has jumped by 25% - with Sarah Jessica Parker being seen as a key factor in the rise.

Sarah Jessica Parker had twins through a surrogate mother

The Childless Overcome Through Surrogacy group says it is the first time in its history that the number of would-be surrogates registering their interest matches the number of people wanting to have a child through surrogacy.

And it is putting the rise in interest down to the media coverage of Sarah Jessica Parker's new family.

The Sex And The City star and her husband, Matthew Broderick, spent several years trying to conceive before electing to use a surrogate.

It's not unusual to find solicitations for surrogates and egg donors at craigslist/state/jobs/etcetera. $8K(VA), $10K(DC)...

Perhaps these are the type of "situations" Mr Obama has in mind to employ women who feel confusing feelings about birth control and the "sacredness of sex"...

Women hiring out their wombs as a result of the recession seems like a more plausible explanation.

The peak-to-trough part of the business cycle is an outlier. Carnot would have died laughing.

Pick any body part. I can imagine wet-nurse industry becoming fashionable again... Reproductive assets are recession-proof, inflation-proof. That is a "situation" where  economic power governing political power dovetails predictably with status of chattel and vessel of all God's children. The "sacredness of sex," I quote Mr Obama. I could not make up such shyte. He's such a romantic! He's no money man... "That's not me," he might say. Again.

That makes no sense - SJP might have had an effect in increasing the number of surrogate seekers, but I can't see how she could have increased the number of surrogates. Emulation isn't it, clearly.
