Who can prove you went over there without a child in one's belly?

And using the term ''gestational carrier'' does exactly that. In one fell swoop her role becomes nothing more than that of an incubator or ''walking womb''.

No kidding.  How often, especially in discussions about abortion, do you hear women routinely referred to as "the womb"?  Not even a whole body, let along a whole person.
