Legal Change and Stigma in Surrogacy and Abortion

John A Robertson. J Law Med Ethics. 2015 Summer.

Abstract

Stigma marks both surrogacy and abortion. Legal change lessens stigma but may not remove it altogether. Post-legalization regulation may reinstall stigma by surrounding a legalized practice with barriers that make exercise of that right more difficult. As a result, law may reenact stigma even as it purports to take it away.
