(LifeSiteNews) — Hello, my friends.
Today we bring you news of a new campaign: to criminalize the trade in human life known as surrogacy.
If people knew the truth about this obscene industry, they would demand an end to it.
That’s why LifeSiteNews is using all of our resources to not only break the news about the criminal sale of babies and the reduction of mothers to battery farm animals.
This time we want to make the news. You can help us stop this global trade, which is set to be worth over $200 billion worldwide by 2034.
We are joining calls from campaigners, rights groups, from the Vatican and from pro-life groups worldwide to demand a global ban on surrogacy.
This is a business which is booming – in America and across the West. In fact, the U.S. is the world leader in international surrogacy. It has been shut down in India and Vietnam, and recent scandals showing the factory farming of women in Ukraine and the former Soviet nation of Georgia have seen international baby buyers flock to the United States.
Surrogacy is the national shame of America. It is permitted in all but one state – Louisiana – and there are no federal laws regulating an industry that has been described as legalized human trafficking.
Baby trafficking cases under the cover of commercial surrogacy are now being investigated by the FBI in the United States. For 30 years, the U.S. has been the go-to destination for LGBTQ parents – whether single men, in couples, throuples or quadruples – to buy babies.
LGBT surrogacy was pioneered in the U.S. in 1995 – an example that has opened the UK, Canada, Australia and other nations in the West to same-sex purchased parenthood.
The horrors of this trade are endless. Contracts include abortion on demand – in case the baby is a girl, or prematurely born – or even simply because the buyer loses interest, as one half of a homosexual partnership recently did.
Babies have been given – sometimes by the courts – to men with a background in child sexual offenses. There are no reliable background checks on buying parents in the U.S. – unlike with adoption.
Commerical surrogacy – paying women directly to buy babies – is legal in almost all U.S. states. Though it is not legal in the UK, Canada and Australia, there is nothing to stop anyone from buying babies abroad and bringing them home.
What is more, in the UK and Australia moves are ahead to liberalize access to surrogacy – on the grounds that “social infertility” denies people the human right to a family.
That might sound like a nice reason – until you realize that “social infertility” means “being a man,” or “being a man who dresses as a woman.”
That’s right. Governments are being persuaded to liberalize surrogacy laws so homosexual and “transgender” men can buy babies as freely at home as they can in the United States.
Surrogacy agencies – who are also usually lawyers themselves – routinely advertise U.S. agencies to overseas clients because US law recognizes homosexual “marriage” – and therefore grants parental rights to such couples.
In fact, it is the surrogacy agents themselves who have succeeded in changing laws in U.S. states to normalize surrogacy in America – and the sale of babies to anyone who wishes to buy them.
Why is the U.S. the Wild West of surrogacy? LGBT surrogacy was pioneered in the U.S. in 1995 by people like John Weltman – an attorney, and a homosexual – who founded Circle Surrogacy to sell babies to people like himself.
In California, a surrogate agent changed the law in a 1993 test case. This guarantees the birth mother has no legal right to the children she carries and gives birth to. The rights are with the buying “parents” – meaning babies are simply property to be owned, and the mother’s womb a mere rental agreement.
This is a crime. It is a grave offense to God Himself, which reduces human life to a consumer object and its creation to a transaction between strangers who often never meet. In fact, some surrogates – who are never called mothers but “gestational carriers” – never even see the babies they are paid to birth.
One woman had a security guard posted on her door and a screen put over her so she never saw the triplets she had carried and birthed. The babies were bought by a 51-year-old single man living in his parents’ basement, where heroin was sold by his relative. Despite his own sister reporting the shocking neglect of the children, the Supreme Court refused to hear the mother’s appeal for custody. Why? The court had ruled the babies were his property, and the judge said what happened to the babies afterwards was none of the court’s business.
That is because surrogacy is not the soft-focus service to parents in need that you see on the websites and glossy brochures of the agencies.
It is simply a business, and business is booming.
This is a trade so criminal, so cruel and disgusting, that if the truth were told about it – it would be stopped today.
That is why LifeSiteNews is bringing you the truth about surrogacy, and why we are using all of our resources to unite with every voice who calls for an end to this vile and degrading industry.
We at LifeSite will be bringing you the views of leading Catholic and pro-life influencers, politicians and public figures. We aim to bring everyone together that we can, to stop this trade in human life once and for all.
Help us now to fight this grave moral evil. Help us stop surrogacy, now and forever. Together, we can make the news – good news – for a change in the best cause of all, the cause of the dignity of human life.
