We believe surrogacy to be a form of human trafficking. We do not believe it is right to separate a baby from its mother, and do not believe surrogacy is a legitimate way to create a family.
We believe the days and weeks after birth are crucial to a baby’s future development and health, and believe women’s bodies and reproductive capacity should not be exploited or commodified.
We do not believe the law should be liberalized on surrogacy, but that it needs to be significantly tightened.
[…] As the name suggests, Surrogacy Concern’s main issue appears to be with the broader concept of surrogacy – of which egg donation can play a part. Their website sets this out more explicitly: […]
We are a group of women and men in the UK, who have come together to oppose liberalisation of the law on surrogacy and to raise awareness of the surrogacy industry; we also oppose egg harvesting for the purposes of egg donation, and payments for egg donors. We do not believe it is right to separate mothers and their children, nor do we believe the law should be relaxed to make surrogacy 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. All are welcome to join us in our fight.
