Surrogacy is projected to become a global industry worth hundreds of billions of dollars in the next decade. For governments in both the UK and Australia, it is perceived as yet another service fulfilling consumer needs.
The struggle over the sanctity of life versus the rise of a culture that prioritizes convenience is intensifying, as steps are being taken in the UK and Australia to loosen restrictions on surrogacy.
On August 1, a British commission was announced, highlighting the broadening of access to baby-selling as a moral necessity. This commission aims to explore the ethical, social, and medical aspects of surrogacy, considering the rights of surrogates, intended parents, and children.
The multi-billion dollar global trade in human life is a horrifying replacement of human dignity typified by an array of degrading practices.
The UK government is inviting input for its commission dedicated to easing access to the baby-selling trade. Recent findings from a U.N. report indicate that such transactions not only involve rented wombs but also involve women subjected to coerced pregnancies under conditions akin to slavery.
In parallel, New South Wales, Australia, is making similar efforts to relax regulations, although critics argue that existing laws already enable the commercial surrogacy practices they supposedly ban.
The grounds for the change in the law are prevented in an uncontroversial manner – the widening of the access to parenthood for the infertile.
Delving deeper, the term “infertile couples” extends beyond traditional understanding, encompassing the peculiar concept of “social infertility.” This is one of numerous euphemisms used by an industry that might not thrive if it were completely transparent about its operations.
“Social infertility” refers to people who cannot naturally have children – namely, men who couple with other men, including men who believe they are women.
In June 2025 the Australian Law Commission’s review of surrogacy laws asserted the “interpretation” of infertility had changed – to include “social infertility.”
If we interpret this new phrase it is presumably intended to promote “trans rights” and “gay rights” to buy babies.
Petition launched in Australia
A petition has been organized against the liberalization of selling babies by the Australian Christian Lobby – a Christian campaign group.
Echoing the findings of U.N. Special Rapporteur Reem Alsalem, WomensForumAustralia is calling for the co-called “surrogacy” trade to be criminalized – and for any such laws to be “actually enforced”:
Critics of the sale of babies through implanting women with IVF embryos have pointed out that laws against commercial surrogacy in places like Australia and the U.K. do nothing to stop the “trafficking” of newborns – who will “never see their mothers again”:
Surrogacy Concern also reported on the case of a 54-year-old single man from Britain who bought a baby in the United States. Commercial surrogacy – paying a woman or their agency directly for a baby – is illegal in the U.K. and Australia.
Horror stories abound from a trade in which buyers can order abortions on demand – for any or no real reason at all. If a boy is wanted, the U.N. report notes, any unborn girl may be aborted – as can babies with any birth defects whether suspected or confirmed. Some abortions are demanded simply because the child will be born prematurely:
As SurrogacyConcern and StopSurrogacyNowUK point out, the “gestational carriers” who are impregnated and “pumped full of hormones” to give birth are never called mothers, or even women.
Buyers may suffer buyer’s remorse – and simply walk away from the children they have ordered abroad.
In a recent exchange with Lexi Ellingsworth of StopSurrogacyNowUK, LifeSiteNews heard of how the U.N. had recently commissioned a special report into the global surrogacy business.
The report, to be heard at a U.N. General Assembly in October, concluded that the sale of babies was a crime and that “surrogacy” should be criminalized worldwide.
In a statement made on July 14, 2025, the U.N. report found “Surrogacy arrangements can amount to or resemble slavery,” citing cases where women were handcuffed while injected with hormones, with reports of foreign women trafficked into European states as “surrogates.”
As the report also notes, contracts with surrogacy agencies provide for “selective abortion” of unwanted children – regardless of the wishes of the mother carrying the child.
Notably, the U.N. report refers to “women” and “mothers” – terms absent from all material from the “surrogacy” industry, which is careful to market the trade as an altruistic service to consumers.
Normalizing the sale of babies to homosexual men
It is surrogacy which supplies the majority of children to “transgender” people and to homosexuals – who may be couples or single men. Many surrogacy agencies specialize in this service.
Los Angeles-based Growing Generations is a surrogacy agency catering exclusively to homosexual men – as this report from 1999 shows.
Yet market conditions were hostile in the mid-1990s, as the founder of Circle Surrogacy complained.
In 2005, the homosexual John Weltman told the New York Times how he “had a challenging time finding women to carry children for gay men when he founded Circle Surrogacy a decade ago.”
“Today, he said, 80 percent of the surrogate mothers who come to him say they would be willing to work with gay couples, and half prefer to work with gay couples.”
Weltman doesn’t explain why women changed their minds about selling their babies to homosexual men – but the U.N. report offers one explanation:
Women experience psychological pressure amounting to violence in order to serve as surrogates.
… They are often pressured into surrogacy by its presentation as an exercise in demonstrating the values of “love” and “solidarity” – particularly in relation to homosexual couples.
Weltman expanded his business – selling babies to gay men like himself – to Israel in 2016.
A report from 2016 records how times had changed in Israel, too, for “gay” men seeking to buy children:
Weltman began focusing Circle’s attention on Israel after meeting Ron Poole-Dayan, an Israeli who moved to the U.S. to have children.
Dayan said it was absurd a decade ago to think Israeli same-sex couples would even consider having children.
Thanks to companies like Circle Surrogacy, what was once unheard of is now the new normal. And business is booming.
As the U.N. report warns, “surrogacy is on the rise worldwide,” adding, “In 2023, the global surrogacy market was valued at $14.95 billion and is projected to reach $99.75 billion by 2033.”
There is a reason homosexual men turn to the U.S. to buy babies. The United States is described as the “Wild West” of surrogacy – as the trade is scarcely regulated at all, allowing practically anyone to buy babies with no attempt to ensure the safety of any child produced by these transactions.
Surrogacy is set to be a hundred billion dollar business worldwide within ten years. To governments like those in the U.K. and Australia, it looks like just another service meeting consumer demand.
If you would like to help stop “surrogacy” being liberalized in the U.K., here is a form and guidance you can use to give your views to the Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology.
