Homoparenting, “children’s rights” and street fake news

A child’s first right is not to be separated from the woman who gave birth to him, who is his mother for him and by law. And so is the truth about one’s origins. Free yes, but not to market third parties

We had warned: biopolitical themes would take center stage. Elly Schlein would have had every interest in straggling up to the Europeans, limiting herself to a few flags here and there so as not to split the party (not just the cattodems: even Bettini, Zingaretti, Gualtieri at the time had spoken out against surrogate wombs ). But for equal and opposite reasons, the government has decided to hit the ground running by blocking the transcripts of the complete birth certificates of children born on the initiative of same-sex couples – on the strength of Law 40 and a couple of Cassation sentences – stopping Europe from on the so-called transnational same-sex parenting and proposing a law on surrogate womb as a universal crime. Because the name of the thing is that, uterus for rent or gestation for others: a matter that, true, concerns 70 percent of straight people and 30 percent of gays. But that 30 percent is spread – hands and shoulders – over 5 percent of the population and 70 over the remaining 95 percent: the numbers must be read. Males who want women’s children, nothing so different from the foundation stone on which patriarchy was built. At the rainbow demonstration in Milan, the issue disappeared from the radar. In Europe, Schlein voted against an amendment that stigmatized surrogate wombs, so she doesn’t mind the practice but now she avoids the topic. On stage almost only women, presentable face of the so-called same-sex parenting. The bi-fathers keep them going. Alessandro Zan, in charge of drawing up the new bill on same-sex parenting, even declared in an interview that “the uterus for rent is fake news”. We only talk about “children’s rights”: well, let’s see them.
