My answer to the argument that SOME surrogacy is ethical:
It is trafficking of the mother:
It is the recruitment and use of a woman’s body for reproductive exploitation. A woman is induced (through economic pressure, social norms of female self-sacrifice, or outright deception) to gestate and then permanently surrender a child she has carried and given birth to. Under the Palermo Protocol definition of trafficking, consent is irrelevant once means such as abuse of vulnerability, deception, or payments are present; these means are inherent to the practice itself.
It is trafficking of the child:
The child is a paid-for and bought commodity, removed from her mother and sold to commissioning buyers.
Take a look at the contracts. You will see that a woman signs away control of her body (my body my choice??) to the point where the commissioning buyers can force her into a traumatic and dangerous late term abortion if her child is defective. Coerced into a dangerous surgery.
And that is only one thing they can do to the disadvantaged mother, legally.
See case in Canada where woman rented her body for a few thousand dollars. Now the men who commissioned the child are suing her for hundreds of thousands because she refused to abort at 22 weeks for a CLEFT LIP. The monsters. They still have the child.
All surrogacy is unethical. Inherently.
Especially, though, when the child is also made motherless by a man or men commissioning her.
CANADIAN PRO-LIFE VICTORY
Campaign Life Coalition (CLC) is celebrating a significant legal victory after the Ontario Superior Court of Justice ruled on June 11 that the Parliamentary Protective Service (PPS) violated the Charter-protected freedom of expression rights of CLC and one of its members by prohibiting signs expressing opposition to abortion at a 2023 Parliament Hill event.
“This is an important victory not only for Campaign Life Coalition, but for every Canadian who believes Parliament Hill must remain a place where one can speak freely on the issues that matter most—in this case, the right to life,” said Jeff Gunnarson, National President of Campaign Life Coalition.
“The Court has confirmed that government officials cannot censor political expression simply because they find the message uncomfortable, difficult, or controversial. This is a big win for life and for free-speech rights. This ruling is especially important at a time when freedom of expression and pro-life advocacy are increasingly under pressure in Canada.”
The Court held that the PPS decision infringed section 2(b) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and was not justified under section 1. The ruling rejected the use of broad and subjective standards to censor political expression on Parliament Hill. The judge found that abortion victim photography is not obscenity and does not promote hatred and that PPS was unreasonable to adopt a subjective standard.
The case arose from a May 2023 press conference organized by CLC ahead of the annual National March for Life. CLC planned to display signs depicting the victims of abortion at various stages of development. Before the press conference began, a PPS officer inspected the signs and prohibited their display, claiming they were too graphic to be shown on Parliament Hill.
“Abortion is not an abstract issue,” said CLC’s Maeve Gainey (then Roche) who was prevented from displaying the images. “It has real victims. The images PPS tried to censor due to a bad policy reveal the truth about what abortion does to preborn children. We do not display these images because they are pleasant. We display them because they are true.”
Gunnarson said that Parliament Hill has long been a place where Canadians gather to communicate political messages directly to lawmakers and to the public. “We are pleased that the Court recognized that constitutional freedoms cannot be restricted through subjective and unpredictable censorship.”
Campaign Life Coalition was represented by constitutional lawyer Hatim Kheir. The case was funded by the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms.

From Parliament Hill to the streets of Ottawa, thousands of Canadians marched peacefully and joyfully to defend every human being’s right to life, from conception to natural death.
First D'Entremont. Then Ma.
Now, MP Matt Jenereux has become a Liberal.
When will the Conservative Party realize that every pro-abortion, pro-LGBT MP is a potential floor crosser?
Want MPs who are 100% conservative? Choose people who are pro-life & pro-family.

Here’s what almost no one tells you. The desert fathers did NOT primarily fight pornography with willpower.
They fought it with three weapons that still work in 2025:
• Radical disclosure
Abba Serinus didn’t heal his brother by giving him better filters.
He healed him by letting the brother keep coming back and saying the ugliest truth out loud five times. - Confession + spiritual father = exorcism.
• Counter-stimulus (the “do the opposite” rule)
Your body is screaming for dopamine and touch.
Give it pain and cold instead.
Cold showers every single time the thought comes.
Sleep on the floor one night a week. The body eventually says, “Fine, I’ll shut up.”
• The memory of death
Abba Sisoes:
“A brother asked, ‘What shall I do about lust?’
The elder said,
‘Keep death before your eyes every hour and remember the day you will stand before God naked.’
The brother did this and was delivered.”
There were plenty of poppies at this Tim Horton’s franchise. But just not being worn by “you people.” @CoachsCornerDC reminds there is still one day to change that. Remember the fallen and support the veterans by making a donation for a poppy.
