Wesley J. Smith appeared on In the Market with Janet Parshall on August 13, 2026, to discuss the case of Baby Gabriel, a baby recently born via his surrogate after his parents ordered the surrogate to abort. Smith discussed the specifics of the case as well as the ethical issues with surrogacy.

“It treats babies as so many products,” Smith explained.

Smith also discussed a recent article from a professional journal calling for wildfires to be treated as a public health emergency. Smith explains why labeling everything a “public health crisis” is a danger to individual freedom.

“It’s what I call a ‘technocracy,’ rule by experts,” said Smith.
