The courage to stand for principle

Bravo to Governor Bobby Jindal of Louisiana for vetoing a gestational surrogacy bill passed by the state legislature. Fighting infertility is good. Promoting the adoption of children in need of parents is good. But gestational surrogacy is bad---bad for children, bad for women, bad for the community. There are better ways. If you doubt that (or even if you don't), please see the documentary film "Breeders: A Subclass of Women" by the great Jennifer Lahl. Anyway, Jindal did the right thing and demonstrated that he is someone who possesses the courage--rare among politicians--to stand for principle.

Wouldn't you love to see that quality in a President?
