Difficult to discern your exact point but maybe you're suggesting that it is not important because such people can just use surrogacy?

But surrogacy causes a lot of legal issues in a lot of countries, as well as necessitating trust of the surrogate mother. Not to mention issues for the surrogate mothers themselves who, as I understand it, are often treated poorly in poorer countries.

Of course, I'm sure there will be many legal issues with this alternative as well. But I don't think people will be complaining about having another option on the table.

One example related to this and the far-right shift in many western countries, in Italy they are retroactively removing the non-birth mother from birth certificates issued to lesbian couples.

Can the non-birth mother adopt to preserve parental rights?
