    A Surrogate Refused An Abortion. Now Texas Won't Let The Biological Parents Leave.

    This is a FREE BONUS episode. Want more exclusive content from Dinky? Join the Patreon!  EVERYONE who signs up to our giveaway wins a FREE spicy toy or gift card for toys! https://www.bboutique.co/vibe/dinky-pod  Shop items from our Dink Yourself segment.   JOIN US FOR Christmas Markets 2026!!! OR Colombia 2027!!!!  This episode is going to be A DOOOOOOOOZY. We’re talking about a story that centers in Texas (of course) featuring a baby, who was born with a severe heart defect, that drew the attention of anti-abortion activists as well as the Texas attorney general after the intended parents wanted the surrogate mother to have an abortion. I think there is a good likelihood that this case will rise to the Supreme Court and influence future abortion precedent — so, as your local abortion advocates, we thought it was valuable to fill you in.  Sources: California couple’s surrogate gives birth in Texas after judge orders life-saving care A Fight Over Abortion and Surrogacy Ends With a Baby Born in Texas Newborn with heart condition at center of surrogacy legal fight has surgery Surrogate fighting for baby’s life against abortion-pushing biological parents: ‘Every life matters’ Reddit: Biological parents file for a temporary restraining order against the surrogate mother, McKenna West  PLUS: Treat yourself to new merch!

    Regretful Parents, Part 4 (Facebook Edition)

    Today we are doing another dedicated Regretful Parents episode. This is our fourth full episode we’ve done on regretful parents and, if you didn’t notice by now, we also have a recurring series we try to do weekly available wherever you find podcasts and a whole lot more on our YouTube channel. In today’s episode, I have compiled a ton of recent posts on Facebook’s I Regret Having Children, which as of recording has 105k members. Trigger warning that there is some talk of parricide (or the murder of one’s own family member) in today’s episode. Either way, you are in for a ride. TRIPS: Christmas Markets 2026!!!
