是的，拿代理孕母的自主权来说，女性主义者向来希望代孕合法化，她们强调女性身体的完全自主权，她们认为女性无论是出于何种目的，都可以依照自己的主权与想法，作出她自主的选择，包括担任代理孕母。

Yeah, in terms of the power of the surrogates to make decisions about their own lives, feminists have always hoped for the legalization of surrogacy. They emphasize the complete autonomy that women should have in making decisions about their own body. They think that, for whatever objective, women should be able to make their own autonomous choices on the basis of their own thinking, including choosing to be a surrogate mother.

话虽如此，可一般代孕的费用相当昂贵，也就是说即便代理孕母合法化，这个政策也无法照顾到各个阶级的不孕妇女，同时中下阶层的女性因经济需要，选择担任代理孕母，是否也能算是“自主”？
huà suī rúcǐ ，kě yībān dàiyùn de fèiyòng xiāngdāng ángguì ，yějiùshìshuō jíbiàn dàilǐyùnmǔ héfǎhuà ，zhège zhèngcè yě wúfǎ zhàogu dào gègè jiējí de bù yùn fùnǚ ，tóngshí zhōng xià jiēcéng de nǚxìng yīn jīngjì xūyào ，xuǎnzé dānrèn dàilǐyùnmǔ ，shìfǒu yě néng suàn shì “zìzhǔ ”？
Although you can say that, normally the cost of surrogacy is quite expensive. So even if surrogacy is legalized, this policy would be unable to look after the needs of infertile women from all classes. At the same time, does it really count as "autonomy" when due to economic need, middle and lower class women chose to become surrogates.
