#anti surrogacy

Italy outlaws international surrogacy and its spun as a loss for gay rights. I hate this. Surrogacy isn’t illegal for just gay couples, it’s illegal for everyone under this law. It’s just that gay couples may have a harder time breaking this law.

No one has a right to a baby. No one has a right to use a woman’s body.

This is not about “targeting gay fathers”. It’s about protecting the rights of the women surrogacy exploits.

This isn’t a tra receipt but I had to share because this is gross. For context, this was on a post calling out surrogacy and its exploitative nature.

What an awful way to talk about children who are adopted, not to mention the shade to adoptive parents. You should want to have a child because you want to love them and take care of them, not because you want a mini-me or because you want them to look like you🙄

I just got blocked by this surrogacy agency on tik tok after I commented asking if they support women and their families financially if they are disabled or die while being a surrogate 🤭

choice feminism really curbed female class consciousness because the amount of women who are advocating for prostitution and surrogacy as rights they and their rapist husbands deserve instead of actually seeing these exploited women as human beings worthy of dignity and in need of support is sickening. and then they have the gall to call it a feminist principle to advocate for their slavery and sale.

if he could do it to her, he would do it to you. if women are up for sale, we are all viable products, you selfish fucking pea brains.

“Not every person has the right to be a parent” is a sentiment I feel is widely accepted in leftist circles, referring largely to abusive households. But this doesn’t get taken to condemn surrogacy and egg-donating industries. Like Jesus Christ why do most leftists not care about this flavor of stuff when it financially exploits women, and subjects them to unnecessary harm? All just because it means infertile women and homosexual couples can have a different way to have children to raise? What happened to “having children isn’t a guaranteed right” Of course I know it’s because of misogyny, but good grief.

It's funny how #they think a woman is a feeling and whatnot, till it's time for #them to exploit one as a surrogate. Then everyone seems to know and realizes who are the actual women.

One of the ways in which modern liberalism goes wrong in ethics is its singular focus on consent. Don’t get me wrong, consent is always necessary is any type of relation or exchange between individuals, but it isn’t sufficient.

This is why modern liberals will see nothing wrong with bdsm, pornography, surrogacy, or cosmetic surgery. “If both parties consent, then what’s the problem?” they’ll say.

There needs to be ethical standards for how we treat other people, regardless of if individuals think they are worthy of being treated by those standards. This concept is already recognized in most legal systems. If I sign a form saying that you can kill me whenever you feel like it, you would still be culpable for murder if you followed through.

Women are the ones who lose out when this concept is not applied. We have been conditioned to believe that we are not worthy of being treated right, so we allow others to take advantage of us. Consent being by the only moral consideration people care about takes advantage of this fact.

Around 100 women were kept as slaves on a human egg farm in Georgia where they were fed hormones and treated like cattle.

Their horrifying ordeal has been revealed by three Thai women who were freed from the clutches of the 'egg mafia' on January 30 after being exploited for half a year, tabloid Bild reports.

To commodify the female sex is to commodify the human woman. You are not purchasing a woman's labour when you buy a surrogate or prostitute. By purchasing the use of her sex, you are purchasing the woman herself. Unlike a worker, the woman is not using her body to perform a skill. The woman herself is a masturbatory organ or a baby slot machine. Everyone but the woman is using herself. Especially since she foregoes the capacity to reject anything done to her person (that is her body) against her will without risking death by starvation, murder, etc. In these cases, since she is selling her person, she is also selling her autonomy which means she has no agency practically or legally. Hence, these can in no way be considered empowering.

Even under regulated standards (of which, let's be serious, those are like 1 in a million), the principle of no human having the right to buy or purchase another human is not something any ethical human being should bother arguing about. It is a fundamental.

FYI this post will only make sense to people who see woman as human and deserving of basic human dignities.

“A prominent surrogacy agency in Europe is under investigation following accusations that its pedophile owner sexually assaulted an employee. José María Hill Prados, 63, is being accused of forcing a young employee to perform sexual acts as part of his employment with Gestlife

Gestlife is one of the largest surrogacy firms in Europe, operating offices in 11 countries dedicated to facilitating child exchange contracts. On its site, it boasts that it has helped “2100 children be born,” and that over 55% of its clientele are “LGBTQIA+ couples.” But authorities in Barcelona are now investigating the company after an employee came forward to accuse the owner of sexual assault.”

Internatioal Surrogacy is human trafficking of babies and the women used to create them.

MANILA, Philippines — The Bureau of Immigration has intercepted a woman who was lured into becoming a surrogate mother.

Immigration officials intercepted the 34-year-old woman at the airport on January 15 as she attempted to board a Turkish Airlines flight to Cyprus. There she was allegedly scheduled to undergo an in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedure.

Though she initially claimed to be traveling alone for leisure, immigration officers flagged her case after she inadvertently presented an IVF clinic invitation that contradicted her stated purpose of travel.

Further investigation revealed that the woman had agreed to serve as a surrogate mother for someone she met through a dating app, with promises of a P300,000 payment after giving birth.

In a statement, Immigration Commissioner Joel Viado warned that such schemes continue to proliferate, noting an increase in online advertisements for surrogacy and IVF-related services where victims are often pressured to comply with specific laboratory requirements.

"We warn females not to be tempted to agree to such schemes as this is a clear form of trafficking," Viado said.

The victim has been referred to the Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking for assistance.

genuinely curious because im new here, what do you mean by leftists wanting women to be a public resource?

this means advocating for things like paid surrogacy and sexual services where its essentially the female body that is being sold. so instead of women being a resource (for sex and childbearing) to her husband, she is available (for sale) to the public, which is what most modern/western leftists support. usually they argue since all labour under capitalism is coerced, that means any paid „service“ makes the exploited woman a worker who needs worker protection and rights. even though according to their own logic, since the sex/pregnancy is coerced (under financial duress in a capitalist society), its abuse. the law recognises this too until it comes to the sex industry.

for example, in my country germany, the left leaning center parties successfully pushed for the liberalisation of prostitution (womens „right“ to sell our bodies/mens right to buy us) over 20 years ago while abortion is still technically illegal (albeit decriminalised) and up until recently, gynaecologists were fined and even imprisoned for saying they do abortions on their website. surrogacy is not legal here, but wealthy couples just go to eastern european countries like ukraine to exploit impoverished women for it, because of course they do. of course they are more liberal but leftists consider surrogacy and sexual acts labour which makes the (female) body a resource, a means of production even. as far as i know marx was against prostitution so this is kind of ironic.

did this help? anyone feel free to add or correct me.
