About
We are a group of women and men in the UK, who have come together to oppose liberalisation of the law on surrogacy . We do not believe it is right to separate mothers and their children, nor do we believe the law should be relaxed to make this process easier in Britain.
Our founder and volunteers hail from left wing backgrounds; we campaign against surrogacy from a feminist perspective, which fundamentally centres the right of children to remain with their mothers, and against the commodification of women’s bodies and the commercialization of pregnancy.
