A surrogate was forced to abort because the baby was missing a few fingers. This is not “love”. This is violence, discrimination and eugenics. #Surrogacy commodifies women and children. #AbolishSurrogacy

🇺🇸 In NY, 68-yr-old MaryBeth Lewis forged her husband’s signature to hire a surrogate, create two babies via donor gametes, pay $160 K, and now faces 30 felony counts while the twins remain in foster care. https://t.co/oVZiWJZtBl

MaryBeth Lewis’s desire to be a new mom again, at 65 years old, led to a custody battle like no other.

@CasaDeclaration For the longest time I was indifferent to surrogacy, assuming it was an altruistic thing women did to help other women who couldn't have children. I've learned it has such a dark side to it and am now against it for any reason.

A German couple ordered a baby from a Georgian surrogate. The child was born with neurological defects. They left her behind in Tbilisi. She now lives in a hospital ward for abandoned surrogate babies. This is surrogacy.

In a UK court case, a British couple paid a Nigerian clinic to make a baby. Two Nigerian women were used as surrogates and the clinic couldn’t even say which one gave birth. Two wombs. One child. This isn’t compassion. It’s colonial exploitation dressed as love.

🇸🇰 In Slovakia, @maurel_olivia about a case that exposes the violence of surrogacy. In Argentina, a French commissioning mother refused to collect the baby she had ordered. The judge wrote the child was treated “like a rejected product.”

Separating a newborn from their mother is now considered unethical, because skin-to-skin contact saves lives. And yet, surrogacy is built on that very separation. No society can justify this. Surrogacy MUST be abolished. #AbolishSurrogacy #HumanRights #CasablancaDeclaration

“Altruistic surrogacy” doesn’t exist. Behind every so-called gift of life, there’s a woman’s pain, and a child’s loss. No contract, no money, no good intention can turn separation into love. 🎥 Watch. Feel. Share. @maurel_olivia

They call it “giving life.” But when you tear a baby away from the woman who carried it, you take their first death. Surrogacy is not love : it’s loss, legalized. #AbolishSurrogacy #CasablancaDeclaration

Surrogacy = violence, exploitation & abuse. Women’s bodies are not markets. Children are not products. The world must act, it’s time to abolish surrogacy in all its forms. 🔗 https://t.co/p1RYkPirpk

“Wombs Without Borders.” They call it family law. We call it the globalization of exploitation. #AbolishSurrogacy

The surrogacy market is actually estimated to reach 200b$ by 2034. A market based on mothers and babies. Let’s bring it down.
@CasaDeclaration @flygirlie30 @UNSRVAW “The global surrogacy market is booming. It was valued at $14.4bn in 2023 and is expected to rise to $96.6bn by 2033. However, as little as 10 per cent of the profits go to mothers who bear the physical and emotional risks of surrogacy, the report found, while intermediaries line
