The Real Problem Michael Knowles Missed
Michael called it "the most horrifying video he's ever seen." He was right to be horrified. But he missed the bigger picture.
In this video, I break down the now-viral video of two gay men laughing as their infant cries for his mother — and explain exactly how we got here, and why this was always the inevitable destination.
Back in 2011, I warned the Rhode Island State Legislature that redefining marriage would mean redefining parenthood. They called it slippery slope fear mongering. In 2013, I predicted the IVF and surrogacy industry would never face meaningful reform.
Nobody listened.
Here we are in 2026.
This isn’t just about one disturbing video. This is about what an entire society decided when it chose adult desires over children’s rights. The Ruth Institute has been clear for decades: no one has a right to a child. Children are not objects to be obtained. Children are people with rights of their own.
The most important question no one is asking: What does society owe the child? I answer it directly — with science, with law, and with the moral clarity the moment demands.
