Scottish Women on Surrogacy

Pop star Meghan Trainor posted a photograph this week skin-to-skin with her newborn daughter, ‘Mikey Moon’, who was still slick with fluids from the birth canal. The image was tender and maternal. What changed the dynamic was the caption. Trainor revealed she had not actually delivered her daughter, but had her gestated by another woman via a surrogacy arrangement. The online reaction was deeply uneasy and critical. ✍️ Lois McLatchie Miller Article | spectator.com/article/surrog…

@ScotSurrogacy @SurrogConcern Brutal on the women (encouraged by economic circumstance), brutal on the resultant child, robbed of heritage. DNA runs deep.

Scottish Government should not subsidise / endorse the surrogacy industry! Its egg donation scheme preys on young women & fails to highlight health & fertility risks. Surrogacy is brutally harmful to women & their children😡😡😡 Thank you @SurrogConcern archive.ph/TbHKQ

Today we are in @DailyMailUK as they expose a British surrogacy agency, My Surrogacy Journey, which has set up a commercial surrogacy outpost in Mexico City. Thank you @sammerriman_ for exposing these awful men and the loophole which allows Brits to buy babies abroad @DHSCgovuk

And now @NCTcharity is endorsing surrogacy. A commissioning parent is one of the NCT’s trustees. We’re sure NCT have done their research and are aware gestational surrogacy is 3x higher risk for severe pregnancy complications… @_ACJones @DailyMirror mirror.co.uk/news/real-life…

‘Women’s bodies and babies are not commodities. Surrogacy..exploits the most vulnerable, carries serious health risks, and leaves far too many questions unanswered when it comes to the welfare of both mothers and babies’ Thank you @AshReganMSP 👏👏👏 scotsman.com/news/politics/…

Posters are up outside #Alloa Town Hall in preparation of #AlloaWomensFestival With thanks to the Leisure team @ClacksCouncil, who have as always been brilliant. We have a few tickets left. #WomenWontWheesht certainly not at Alloa... Please check out eventbrite.co.uk/e/alloa-womens…

@KatyDidKatyDnt Yes! But thank you 🙏

@ScotSurrogacy Hi. I just wondered if you'd seen this. They want responses from groups not individuals. x.com/UN_SPExperts/s…

As ‘unkind’ as exploiting a poor woman’s poverty? As ‘unkind’ as deliberately setting out to remove a child from their mother at birth? So long as the ‘wants’ of those adults with enough money are satisfied dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/arti…

We were recently contacted by a supporter who found this predatory poster inside a locker at a private gym in Edinburgh. @NHSScotland continues to target women -as young as 18- for their eggs. This must stop. To write to your MP, click here: surrogacyconcern.uk/take-action-se…

Tickets are going fast, don't be slow, available by donation eventbrite.co.uk/e/alloa-womens…

Appalling selfishness and exploitation. We, like the judge, OBJECT @WombsNotForRent @SurrogConcern @ScotSurrogacy Senior judge issues surrogacy warning after two women in their 60s paid £120,000 to start a family mol.im/a/14415041 via dailym.ai/android

We have to inform you of one of the worst international commercial surrogacy cases we have come across, involving two female commissioning parents (aged 60+ and 70+) who reside in the UK. Judgement in full below, which we strongly urge you to read. judiciary.uk/wp-content/upl…

We want to see a ban on surrogacy in all forms: Government could start by making international surrogacy for UK residents a criminal offence, as Italy has done. We will see more and more of these horrific cases, if they do not do so. (ENDS).

Today our campaign is mentioned in @spectator in an excellent article about surrogacy and the mother-baby bond. Thank you to @MaryWakefield for writing about this vitally important subject, which needs to move far higher up the political agenda. spectator.co.uk/article/the-tr…
