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

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

Julien Haye and his husband, Pierre, became parents after welcoming their daughter via surrogacy and now have a second child on the way - something they didn't think was possible

‘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 👏👏👏 https://t.co/Z7TwYlbNfK

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: https://t.co/hTQvW3zSiX

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. https://t.co/ViKdbzycc3

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. https://t.co/68s99pHSdA

For the benefit of the nation, we can confirm you do indeed need a man and a woman to make a baby.
Naomi Cunningham asks if you need a man and a woman to make a baby. "Not necessarily", says DOCTOR "Beth" Upton.

"After undergoing an embryo transfer in Georgia, she (the surrogate mother) was allegedly flown to Thailand three months before giving birth, where she gave birth to a baby intended for a single Chinese man." STOP SURROGACY NOW. @UNSRVAW
« Après avoir subi un transfert d'embryons en Géorgie, elle (la mère porteuse) aurait été transportée en Thaïlande trois mois avant l'accouchement, où elle a accouché d'un bébé destiné à un seul homme chinois ». https://t.co/LdaIjjkcUf

Superb column from @Martha_Gill, and fantastic to see such a damning critique of surrogacy. It’s not ethical, it’s not safe. The dam is about to break. https://t.co/FfMcEDckHF

Whether it’s infertility, to save a career or pure altruism, is there ever a reason that can morally justify surrogacy?
