Talking Points Against E2SHB 1267:

1. E2SHB 1267 authorizes the selling of children, making them a commodity. Children are human beings not commodities.
2. E2SHB 1267 has the potential of exploiting women. It also has the potential of fostering reproductive trafficking.
3. E2SHB 1267 would institutionalize the creation of children to be parented by members of one sex only (whether they be two people of the same-sex  or a single person not in a committed relationship).
