You'll be pleased to know that it would be perfectly possible to use men in persistent vegetative states as well. In theory, it's perfectly possible for a male to carry a pregnancy ectopically. It just hasn't been done, because as the embryo grows, it latches onto and messes up the internal organs. The placenta has to be cut out like a cancer afterwards.
But if we're using people in vegetative states like this, there's no reason to throw out half of our potential surrogates. Males in vegetative states could easily be used as one time use surrogates. You first castrate the male to nuke testosterone production. Then you introduce estrogen and progesterone. Finally you implant an embryo in the abdominal cavity. After it grows to term, you remove it surgically and let the surrogate father die.
