Welcome to the Free Birth Podcast, a supportive space for people who are learning, exploring, and celebrating their autonomous choices in childbirths.

Together, we'll unpack truths, share personal stories, and claim our ability to birth freely and intuitively.

Here's your host, Emily Saldane.

Thank you. Do you know it's your calling to become an authentic midwife? Do you dream of attending women in birth?

Have you felt frustrated trying to be a birth worker in the system? Are you looking for a better way to walk with women in total integrity,

supporting mother-led physiological birth?

Are you dreaming of building a thriving, profitable business as a birth coach?

Well, we are thrilled to announce that enrollment for our radical

birthkeeper school is now open. Classes begin June 1st, so head over to our website and get the

details. The time is now, and we need you to join us in this birth revolution.

This week, I invite Jennifer Law on the show, who is the founder and president of the Center for Bioethics and Culture, based in San Francisco.

She's also a documentary producer, having created important films like Egg Exploitation and Big Fertility.

Today, we discuss some of the health risks of egg harvesting and of being a surrogate,

as well as some of the deeply concerning language in surrogacy contracts,

the challenges Jennifer has faced as she tries to make legislative changes to protect women,

and I also share some of my experience of the backlash I received

in putting out the three-part surrogacy series.

We also include some great resources at the end of where to learn more.

Okay, it is such an honor to be here with you today, and I'm so, so grateful to bring your

wisdom and knowledge to the women that listen to this podcast. So why don't you please just

introduce yourself and tell us a little bit about who you are? Sure. Well, my name is Jennifer
