German centre-right politician Jens Spahn has been accused of double standards, after he revealed he and his husband had become parents using a surrogate mother in the US.
Surrogacy is banned in Germany - a policy firmly backed by his Christian Democrat party, and several years ago by Spahn himself.
If that is the thing that brings Spahn down I don’t know to laugh or cry.
That guy should have resign long ago. (The mask affair!?)

“Politicians who set standards for others must be measured by them too,” said Marion Rosin, a Christian Democrat in Thuringia and part of the Women’s Union. “If that credibility is gone, resignation is a matter of consequence.”
Naturally. I imagine that if Marion Rosin could be shown to have purchased any product originating in another country with different labor laws than in Germany and operating in accordance with the labor laws of that country rather than German ones, that she would certainly herself resign and end her own political career. As a matter of principle, perhaps Ms. Rosin would care to show us, say, the tags on the items of her wardrobe?
Well, playing devils advocate here: your comparison lacks. Buying foreign products well within the free market system, in which her party beliefs.
Also describing the birth of a human being as a product is a choice.
She’s only concerned with her party’s stance. And as good Christians her party is in full support of child slaves producing her clothes.
