"A Pedophile Could Access a Child" - Shocking Failure in Surrogacy Laws | Ep 180

In this powerful episode, I sit down with MLC Michelle Hoffman, a new MP in Western Australia who is on the front lines of one of the most unsettling political battles we've seen. With Labor attempting to radically expand surrogacy laws, Michelle is fighting to protect vulnerable women and children - often completely alone.We dive into the proposed changes that would allow 18-year-olds to become surrogates and why the Parliament voted against mandatory criminal checks for intended parents. Michelle also opens up about the personal cost of politics, juggling three young boys, and how she finds the strength to keep fighting when victory feels impossible. This is a conversation about courage, motherhood, and the value of life you won't want to miss.📲  Follow for Updates:📸  Instagram, TikTok & Facebook: @drjoannahowe🐦  X/Twitter: @ProfJoannaHowe🎙️ Podcast available on all platforms: https://thedrjoshow.transistor.fm/📩 Join my weekly e-newsletter: https://www.drjoannahowe.com.au/join🙏 Help raise awareness of Australia’s extreme abortion laws by donating here: https://www.drjoannahowe.com.au/donate
