John Lesch and Sen. Sandra Pappas recently unveiled the Minnesota Gestational Carrier Act with the intent to regulate the surrogacy industry. Currently, the state offers no regulatory laws, but with this legislation, standards can be upheld, and intended parents have the right of parentage prior to the birth of their child.<\/p>\n<p>The Act is silent on compensation, and it\u2019s this exclusion that has the opposition concerned \u2013 one of which is the Minnesota Family Council.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMinnesota Family Council believes that the proposed bill dismisses important regulations for the protection of women and\u00a0children. Compensation must be banned and any proposed surrogacy legislation must additionally prevent the exploitation of women&#8230;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur feeling is if everyone else is being compensated \u2014 the lawyers, the clinic, doctors \u2014 why shouldn\u2019t the person carrying the child be compensated?\u201d Sen. Sandra Pappas told the <a href=\"http:\/\/minnesota.cbslocal.com\/2017\/02\/07\/surrogate-industry-regulation\/\">media<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A number of intended parents understand the commitment and dedication of their surrogates. Invariably, these women are placing their lives on \u201chold\u201d so they can help carry their intended parents\u2019 baby. Likewise, surrogates are also assuming the risk that goes with pregnancy and childbirth. It is for these very reasons that intended parents want their surrogates to receive a substantial compensation package \u2013 without them, they would be unable to have their family.<\/p>\n<p>While each state has their own laws regarding surrogacy, one state viewed as having surrogacy-friendly laws is California due to its Uniform Parentage Act. Its guidelines make the surrogacy process more efficient so that intended parents, regardless of their sexual orientation, have their rights safeguarded.<\/p>\n<p>While the Act is not on the calendar yet for any committee hearings, many are waiting to see if it will reach further than a similar bill that was vetoed in 2008.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>State lawmakers Rep.
