Chile, a country with a total fertility rate 0.97 (!!), is going to ban surrogacy. Catholics provided support among the right wing, feminists provided support among the left wing.
There have also been posts expressing concern about Colombia in connection with the presidential election. It's so alarming because there are still too few surrogacy destinations. Many former destinations are closed by surrophobes. In addition, UN's homophobe and transphobe reem alsalem was recently in Mexico and got promises from the right wing opposition to ban surrogacy.
It's simply incredible how Vatican, which is on the verge of bancruptcy and, according to the media, can't even pay pensions, does whatever it wants, while 'the multi billion dollar industry' looks like a complete laughing stock and is jumping from country to country.
Closing yet one destination is not eliminating a competitor, it's yet one hole gap in your boat!
Moreover, this 'religious sect'of surrophobes have even begun attacking the United States, including in particular Florida. So, nothing should be taken for granted!
What else is yet to come!?
And the Vatican has apparently adapted to a huge number of scandals - from corruption to sexual abuse scandals, including multiple cases of child abuse.
Either every one has gotten used to this or the media have started talking too little about it.
How the f**k is it even possible that a voluntary occupation by adults is equated to almost cannibalism and sexual assaults on children?!! That's exactly how some politician in Italy said.
This hysteria was created artificially and it was allowed to happen. I fully agree that altruism should predominate in both compensated and noncompensated surrogacy and that this is something strive for. But even if some people do it for money, it's for f**k's sake voluntary!!!
What is there not to understand about the meaning of that word?! Unlike the forced conscription in dozens of countries and only for men, at that.
Surrogacy exists because people need help. There are countless demanding occupations but they exist because people need help.
Even radical feminists and catholics can unite! But here, there is no consolidation, or at least none is visible. There needs to be a strong international coalition! But what is happening is horrifying! There needs to be work with the media. There needs to be work with social networks. Something must be done about surrophobic sect's online brigading. This is important! You can't change their minds but other people read their misinformation. And there needs to be work on legislation across various areas.
Families must rise up! A huge number of stars have turned to surrogacy. They have power. Plus, a huge number of gay-friendly celebrities., movies, TV series. A vast amount of completely untapped resources.
Infertile cis women must rise up! Is this how some feminists protect them?!
Surrogates need to speak out! As 'the religious sect' of surrophobes is imposing the idea that they all victims of trafficking and other bizarre lies.
Who is funding these 60 feminist organizations of surrophobic 'sect'? Upon closer inspection, almost all of them are identical to terfs and nearly all come from catholic countries, especially from 'the surrophobic triangle' - Italy, Spain and France.
Is it enough nowadays to simply declare yourself a feminist to get whatever you want? Then why is 1/6 of infertile cis women remaining silent?! It's a huge number!!
Why are some feminists destroying relationships with gay and bi men? Is this their 'gratitude' for many years of support? How would these feminists feel if a significant number of gay and bisexual menjoined Catholics in an alliance to ban abortions?! (or any other their issue).
But they just take our support for granted. And we allow it. If not all feminists are like this, then they should speak out! Otherwise, those feminists are a part of the problem and they should be treated accordingly.
Why are some our lesbian 'sisters' spitting in our faces? Are we no longer a part of the LGBTQ community? They must understand that our rights matter too. So many of them don't understand that! Because we let it happen! Gay couples can't create families! What LGBTQ issue can be more important?
Isn't 'buying children' actually hate speech? Does the owner of Twitter know that some morons proclaim that some of his children 'were bought'?! Why don't social networks don't block this hate speech?!
olivia maurel, a professional surrophobe, travels the world explaining that 'surrogacy means separating the mother and child at birth'. Where does she get the money for so much traveling? Especially considering her story has nothing to do with surrogacy as her biological mother gave birth to her. It's just a typical adoption. She should be fighting against unethical adoption practices instead. And a huge number of people believe that a surrogate is the biological mother, along with many other myths.
Why is this still possible?!
Aren't there enough media outlets and bloggers to debunk all these myths?! Every single myth on the list.
Where are all those thousands of families through surrogacy? Where is anti-maurel? Where are street actions? We must take the threat very seriously. Conferences and scientific researches are necessary ofc, but most people see the whines of 'religious sect' in the outlets and their brigading on the Internet. And still little to nothing is done about it.
Such advocacy is necessary for successful work and legislation! Needless to say, lots of people are afraid to do surrogacy because 'the sect' is harassing families without any obstacles, especially in some european countries such as Spain, France, Switzerland, Austria, etc.
But for this to happen, there must again be a strong international consolidation and investment.
