The commentator and former BBC journalist Libby Purves has mentioned our campaign in a column in The Times.
Speaking out against surrogacy for single men on 27 April in The Times, Ms Purves condemned the consumerist attitude which surrogacy embodies, and throws down to the gauntlet to our political class, writing “It would take rare, deep and confident moral toughness for any authority simply to say “no”.”
But no is exactly what our political class must say: and before it is too late. We want to see a ban on surrogacy in all forms, for everyone, but surrogacy by single men poses acute and specific risks to children. This trade in human babies is incompatible with a human rights framework in which children’s rights are respected and safeguarded. We urge the Government to ban surrogacy, for all, as soon as possible.
