On Thursday 20 February, our Founder, Helen Gibson, was interviewed by Hugo Rifkind on Times Radio.
Helen expressed our concerns about surrogacy in the UK and abroad, why we oppose relaxation of the law, and why we don’t think surrogacy can ever be ethical. She appeared between 10:45am – 11:00am. To listen again, click here.
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.
