America's Catholics are as ashamed of this as you are.

Maddening and sickening and heartbreaking.

Yes, it is a matter of time before Americans - and the rest of the West that has not banned it yet - find out. I think it can and will be brought to an end.

Yes. Why don't people abhor this? Why is surrogacy legal? Isn't homosexuality awful enough? So make it even worse by letting homosexuals buy a child or multiple children? Like John Cannell of the Preppy Kitchen.

It’s big business. LGBTQ surrogacy is very big business indeed.

The worst part of modernity is that it seems that there is no horror that they can't turn into a commodity and even portray it is as a virtue or as a "progressive value."

And, with globalization, Spanish homosexual pedophiles (but I repeat myself) can sell Ukrainian surrogate babies to other homosexual pedophiles in Spain through a company legally based in the USA, but with offices right in front of Casa Battlò in Barcelona, hidden as a "Family Law Attorney". To circumvent Spanish laws, the surrogate mother has the baby abroad (in the Ukraine before the war, now in Georgia). All perfectly legal, it seems.

And one wonders how many other scams these people run (one of the "benefits" of the war in the Ukraine has been to show how many rotten schemes were organized in the country, from surrogacy to the sale of human organs.)

Note: the Spanish government recently changed laws in order to make it harder for surrogate babies born abroad to be registered in Spain, so that could impact the "business".

Note 2: Yes, surrogacy is also used by infertile heterosexual couples who want to have a family, which is less awful than babies being sold to homosexuals as sex toys (in the worst scenario) or to cos-play as "parents" (in the best case scenario). But it is still bad.

There are various legal loopholes by which the industry continues- sometimes in open and tacitly tolerated defiance of the law.

Pope Leo XIII predicted the total moral collapse which would result from modern progressivism, it being Godless - and necessarily leading to social and moral chaos. The destination of progress is moral nihilism, which it never admits, as the evidence is all around us today. I think this helps to explain the increasing prohibition of the statement of the obvious in liberal regimes.

The courts in the US are unbelievably corrupt. In the mid-'90s in Maryland, I worked on a case in which Jason O'Haver's girlfriend sold his (son?) in NY, against his and his mother's most strenuous efforts in court (Suffolk Co., IIRC). We were never able to find out the buyer, even though the case was before birth. All records were sealed, we all got gag orders, too.

I'm surprised you didn't cite this recent Wired article about a lunatic Chinese female VC in Silicon Valleys vendetta against one and abuse of another surrogate mother: https://www.wired.com/story/the-baby-died-whose-fault-is-it-surrogate-pregnancy/

I wrote a note listing her funders and investments, as well as a link to the Wired author's Substack post: https://substack.com/@enonh/note/c-153555190 .

The legal permissioning of this diabolical business over the last three decades is an object lesson in the rottenness of the US legal and political system.

Money talks its way into law, sloganised under the banner of “progress”. It’s basically monetised evil.

This is despicable and has no place in America, or for that matter anywhere. Thank you for talking about this.

I’m heading up the LifeSite campaign to end surrogacy, and I think if enough of us tell people the truth about surrogacy it will end.

I have been researching this for months now. I discover some fresh hell in this evil business on the daily.

There’s a lot more than I could include here. I read some headlines, thought “this must be clickbait”, and in checking it out often found several far worse stories right away.

Sorry to have to bring it up and I’m grateful you see the reason for doing so. Thank you Lee. Anyone who can recognise evil will want this stopped as soon as they see it.

According to Milo Yiannopolis, what gay men do to these purchased children is another atrocity. He has called out Dave Rubin on this.

Oh thank you Áine! Spread the word, share the horrid truth about surrogacy on social media - and you could also write to your political representatives to ask why the criminal sale of children is still permitted.

I had no idea of this business! I am thankful you are bringing this to light. Never could I have fathomed something so diabolical. I am horrified. Offering some Ave Maria’s for your work and spiritual protection!

I am sorry to have to mention all this but I think if enough Americans see the reality of this business it will be stopped.

Thank you for your prayers! Much needed whenever tangling with evil.
