Summary
“No, I don’t think so—we will test for it, but there are some other tests I would like to run, but first,” she leans forward and places a steadying hand on his knee. “Mike, what do you know about male gestational carriers?”
His stomach drops, eyes widening.
He’d only ever heard it referred to as something else—something vitriolic and demeaning.
He remembers hearing the rumors in high school about Peter Miller’s cousin from San Francisco who’d gotten bitched—remembers Peter being beaten bloody in the school parking lot because of it. Vaguely, he knows it was mentioned in a health class—in the same way that AIDS was mentioned—a disease—something that happens to sexual deviants. He knows he has heard Ted Wheeler speak about it—scoffing about so-called ‘paternity rights’ in the paper, “If a man lets himself get bitched he should be ashamed of himself—not asking the world to accept his perversions—It’s sick!”
Mike’s stomach rolls again, acid burning his throat.
He certainly feels sick right now.
