Florida surrogacy fight ignites child trafficking allegations: ‘It’s akin to slavery’



Florida just became the first state to seriously challenge the surrogacy industry after a gay couple living in France contracted with a woman in Florida to be their surrogate.

The couple petitioned the Broward County court for early parental rights.

While Judge Marlon Weiss granted their petition, he questioned whether surrogacy is constitutional, claiming it violates the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery.

“Judge Marlon Weiss argued that if unborn children are legally entitled to personhood, then they cannot legally be part of a contractual arrangement that treats them as property,” BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey explains on “Relatable.”

In November, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier moved to intervene after the child was born, also calling the practice unconstitutional.


“Today, registered sex offenders and foreigners — including Chinese nationals — buy thousands of babies from U.S. surrogacy companies. This modern day slavery is morally wrong, endangers children, and threatens national security. It must be stopped,” Uthmeier wrote in a post on X.

“It is akin to slavery,” Stuckey agrees. “Like, if we genuinely believe that the unborn are human beings, it follows that buying and selling them is slavery.”

“And that is what is happening during surrogacy, especially when it is the surrogacy that is by two men, because you have to purchase the eggs of one woman and rent the womb of another woman. And so, you are purchasing half of the DNA of that child from the genetic mother,” she says.

And this is why Stuckey believes it’s “a form of trafficking.”

“I’m not saying all of those children will literally after birth be harmed or be trafficked or be abused in some way, but it is a way of commodifying women’s bodies and children. It is. It is a way of saying, ‘I don’t care what you have to go through. I want this child,’” she says.

Stuckey recalls an interview she once did with a woman named Brittney, who had previously carried a baby for a gay couple.

“She was then diagnosed with cancer when she was about 20 or so weeks pregnant, and the couple urged her to abort her child, and she didn’t want to have an abortion,” Stuckey explains, noting that the couple wanted her to get an abortion because the child was going to be born premature.

“She did end up giving birth, and the child died. She did end up, you know, having chemotherapy. But the dads, one of whom was biologically related to this baby, didn’t even show up at the hospital — not to check on her, not to hold the baby,” she says.

“I’m telling you, that kind of story is so common. Many times in these surrogacy contracts, these women are obligated to say they will get an abortion if the intended parents want an abortion,” she continues.

“I think that happens far more often than we realize,” she says. “These babies have no rights.”

Woman celebrates her ‘abor-bor,’ claims her pit bull always ‘wins’ over a baby



The left’s side of the abortion debate is evil enough as it is, but a woman on TikTok decided to take it a step further and add her pit bull — a breed well known to attack children — into the mix.

“As many of you saw, I had an abor-bor earlier this year, not only because I don’t want children right now, but you want to know the real reason? I already have a baby, it’s this one right here,” the woman said proudly as she panned her camera to the pit bull behind her.

“He cost me a lot of time and energy and money, and if I had to choose between a human baby’s needs and this one, I’m choosing this one every time,” she continued.


“That’s why this fall, there’s only one candidate protecting our reproductive freedoms, and if she doesn’t win — don’t make me choose between a human baby and this one — because this one wins every freaking time,” she added.

“My political ideology is whatever makes that illegal,” BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey comments. “Every part of that, actually. There’s so many things in that clip that I think should be illegal; having an abortion and owning a pit bull.”

“This really just goes to show disordered priorities and disordered desires just put your whole life out of whack,” she says. “That’s really what’s happening here. When you worship the creature rather than the creator, who is blessed forever, amen, as Romans 1 tells us, then everything gets distorted and disordered.”

“Like, if you cannot see how absolutely depraved and backwards and dark that is, this is, like, a spiritual issue, a demonic problem here, then you need to be reading your Bible and praying a lot more,” she adds.

Michelle Obama makes bizarre pro-abortion argument: The 'least' of what the female body does 'is produce life'



Former first lady Michelle Obama appealed to pro-abortion Americans by claiming a woman's reproductive system is not primarily intended for bearing children.

On her podcast, "IMO," Mrs. Obama and her guests discussed an alleged bias against women among lawmakers and the pharmaceutical industry, leading to a discussion in support of abortion on demand.

'So many men have no idea about what women go through. Right? We haven't been researched. We haven't been considered.'

Co-host Craig Robinson kicked off the festivities by asking guest Dr. Sharon Malone, an ob-gyn, where women should go to get "proper information" regarding reproductive care, in vitro fertilization, menopause, and more. This related to Obama, as she suffered a miscarriage in the late 1990s and later used IVF to conceive her daughters, Malia and Sasha.

Without answering the question, the doctor immediately shifted to accusing the pharmaceutical industry of not advancing products for women out of bias, "because there's no money to be made" there.

This set Obama off on a tangent about abortions, during which she claimed a lack of investment has led to difficult decisions for pregnant women.

"So many men have no idea about what women go through. Right? We haven't been researched," Obama claimed.

"We haven't been considered, and it still affects the way a lot of male lawmakers, a lot of male politicians, a lot of male religious leaders think about the issue of choice, as if it's just about the fetus, the baby. But women's reproductive health is about our life."

The explanation fell short of a compelling argument, however, with Obama saying that producing children is actually the "least" important function of a woman's reproductive system.

"It's about this whole complicated reproductive system that does — the least of what it does is produce life. It's a very important thing that it does, but you only produce life if the machine that's producing it — if you wanna, you know, whittle us down to a machine — is functioning in a healthy, streamlined kind of way."

She added, "But there is no discussion or apparent connection between the two."

Blaze News spoke to Emily Erin Davis, VP of communications for Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, who said hearing Obama's comments was "heartbreaking."

"It's sad to see someone who once represented our country speak about women and children this way," Davis said. "Comments like these don't just devalue motherhood — they devalue womanhood itself."

Similarly, Blaze News' Rebeka Zeljko described Obama's remarks as "absurd" and "damaging to women."

"Many women regard motherhood as their greatest, most fulfilling accomplishment. The only people who 'whittle us down to a machine' are those who dehumanize unborn children and equate an abortion with taking a Tylenol."

After Obama's obscure explanation about women's bodies, Dr. Malone asserted that a woman must "have control over her body, when and if to have a baby, and to decide how that pregnancy should continue."

The doctor insisted she was not referring to abortion, however, and said she was referring only to a miscarriage or when the mother's life is in danger.

The truth about Project 2025: Will Trump take your birth control away?



Donald Trump has officially been sworn in as the 47th president of the United States of America — and Allie Beth Stuckey of “Relatable” couldn’t be more thrilled.

“Trump is going to overhaul America’s most corrupt institutions and turn them back into institutions that serve the American people. Truly, hopefully, by the grace of God, making America great again,” Stuckey says.

President of the Heritage Foundation, Kevin Roberts, is hopeful as well, and excited that elements of his foundation’s Project 2025 will be coming to fruition — despite the left-wing fearmongering surrounding the set of policy proposals.

“I was not surprised that the radical left overreacted, because that’s what they do, you know, their performance theater about anything that conservatives do that might actually be conservative is guaranteed,” Roberts says.


“What did surprise me, to be completely candid with you Allie, is the scale and scope of their overreaction. And clearly, they thought, particularly at one point in the summer, that this was going to be the Achilles heel for President Trump,” he continues.

And the left is still shaking in their boots.

“They believe that what is in Project 2025 is that you personally are going to go to their house, open their drawer, steal their birth control, and run away. That seems to be like this crazy fear that has been stirred up in a lot of people on the left,” Stuckey says.

While most conservatives aren’t a fan of the left's obsession with sex, abortion, and pregnancy prevention, Robert’s can put their delusional fears to rest.

“Project 2025 is this election cycle’s version of something that Heritage has done since 1980 for President Reagan, and it is just a menu of conservative policies. It’s actually on one level, Allie, really boring. It’s what think tanks and public policy organizations do,” Roberts explains.

“So the advice that I would give, and I really do intend this to be friendly for people who are in the political center or maybe on the political left, is that whatever you’ve heard about Project 2025 is unlikely to be true,” he adds.

‘Souls on ice’: The dark world of reproductive eugenics



Over a million “little, tiny image-bearers of God” are frozen on ice in the United States through IVF — some of which may never see the light of day.

“As pro-lifers, we believe that those are human beings made in the image of God. We know that those are human beings made in the image of God,” Allie Beth Stuckey of “Relatable” tells the founder of Them Before Us, Katy Faust.

Faust agrees wholeheartedly and is disturbed by the treatment of these embryos.

“The American Society for Reproductive Medicine has some recommendations for what you do with those surplus embryos. The first option is to thaw and discard,” Faust explains. “The dehumanizing language is already just crazy.”

“The second option is to donate them to research. Destroy those little lives so that we can better figure out how to increase our fertility rate successes in the future. The third suggestion that they have is donate the baby to another couple,” she continues. “None of those three options honors children’s right to life and right to be known and loved by their mother and father.”


Of the embryos on ice, Faust explains, 20%-40% of them have been “functionally abandoned,” and some “have been on ice for 30 years or more.”

One option, Faust explains, is for couples to adopt the abandoned embryos. However, that does not come without a price.

“When we are properly understanding embryo adoption, not embryo donation, that is adults doing hard things on behalf of children. Those couples need to go in with the mindset of, ‘I am here to shepherd you through what is going to be the kind of questions that children in our species have never had to ask before,” Faust says.

“‘Why is it that I am genetically older than my own mother?’ You’re going to have to answer those questions to your kids. ‘Why is it that I was born and my parents had already died by the time that I was born?’ We are going to have some incredible struggles parenting those kids,” she continues.

However, some IVF-born children are now actively speaking out against embryo adoption.

“They are concerned that both on a public level, but also in terms of the industry, that it won’t do anything to stem the tide of the mass creation of surplus embryos. If there’s a perception that, ‘Oh, no problem, the surplus embryos are just going to get adopted,’ then there’s really no stop. There’s no reason for either the public to say, ‘That doesn’t seem right,’ or for the fertility industry to say, ‘Maybe we shouldn’t do this very often,’” Faust adds.

Allie Beth Stuckey called out actress Sophia Bush on Instagram



Last night, pro-life warrior Allie Beth Stuckey faced off with actress Sophia Bush on Instagram over the subject of abortion.

Bush pushed the typical leftist talking point that abortion bans in certain states prevent women from getting life-saving care when they’re experiencing a miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy.

Like so many pro-choice women, what Bush gets wrong is the difference between how insurance companies code procedures (often the word abortion is used) and what is actually illegal.

“A D&C IS AN ABORTION. It is THE SAME PROCEDURE,” Bush wrote on Instagram.

“Despite what the pro-forced birth folks want to tell you, these laws prevent doctors from giving care,” she ranted in a reel, before accusing Allie and other pro-lifers of having “blood on [their] hands.”

Of course, that’s far from correct.

“An abortion is the purposeful termination of the life of an unborn child, and that is exactly how it is defined in every pro-life law that has been passed since Dobbs, which means that there is no law in any state that is restricting or prohibiting miscarriage care or the removal of an ectopic pregnancy,” Allie explained in the following Instagram reel.

Bush referenced Nevaeh Crain and Josseli Barnica, two Texas women whose stories have become leftist propaganda, as they both died because doctors claim they were fearful of prosecution due to the Heartbeat Law.

Once again, this is false information. Allie explains that in both of these cases, neither woman sought an abortion and actually died due to medical negligence.

“They take these stories, they stoke fear, and they tell women that if you are pro-life, then you are for killing women,” Allie told Live Action founder and president Lila Rose on a recent episode of “Relatable.”

“There's not a single pro-life law in the country that prohibits emergency medical care to a mother that might involve an early delivery if it's an emergency or that prohibits miscarriage care or that prohibits care for an ectopic pregnancy,” Rose reiterated.

WATCH: Gavin Newsom's new pro-abortion ad is so bad, it’s funny



While abortion is no laughing matter, Gavin Newsom’s latest pro-abortion – or in his words “reproductive care” – ad has Sara Gonzales in stitches.

The commercial comes in unison with Newsom’s latest proposal that aims to pave the way for women in Arizona to seek abortions in California because the “mean red states … are making it harder for them to kill their babies,” mocks Sara.

Newsom’s ad, despite what you might think, “isn’t a parody … [or] SNL.”

“This is an actual ad released unironically from Gavin Newsom on abortion,” Sara prefaces.

While we don’t want to give away too many spoilers, know that the commercial features a pair of young girls being literally hunted down by a cop with a thick Southern accent, armed with both handcuffs and a pregnancy test?

It also includes the following statement: “Trump Republicans want to criminalize young Alabama women who travel for reproductive care.”

Blaze contributor Matthew Marsden is flabbergasted.

“What are you thinking, you colossal bunch of morons?” he asks.

Why single women don't vote Republican (and probably never will)



While many Republicans blame Donald Trump for the lack of female support in their party, women’s blue voting patterns began far before his reign.

And Steve Deace has the receipts.

As early as 2004, John Kerry polled at 18+ points more with unmarried women than George Bush, who polled at 10+ points more with married women.

The trend continued with each election up until 2020, with the only exception being Hillary Clinton polling at 2+ points more than Trump with married women and 29+ points more with unmarried women.

“This is the spiritual condition of unmarried women because this is driven all by one particular issue: unmarried women just want to be able to kill their children whenever they want,” Deace explains, adding, “It’s not any more complicated than that.”

And he’s not hopeful it will change.

“There’s really not even much we can do to bridge this gap, frankly. Because what’s the number one most loyal issue voting base in the Republican Party?” Deace asks, “the pro-life base.”

“The more married you are, the more you tend to vote Republican, and the less married you are, the more you tend to vote Democratic,” he continues.

“It’s really the number one dividing line of voting patterns in America.”

President Biden's CANDID admission about abortion: A surprising twist in the debate



President Biden, who has championed a woman's right to choose throughout his presidency, seems to have just done a complete 180.
During a speech in Maryland, Biden revealed that he does not personally support abortion and is especially uncomfortable with them taking place late in a pregnancy.

The president began his rant saying, “I happen to be a practicing Catholic. I’m not big on abortion.” However, he didn’t skip a beat before championing Roe v. Wade, claiming the initial ruling pleased “a vast majority of religions.”

Then, in classic Biden fashion, he began to make less and less sense: “Historically, the first three months or thereabouts, in all major religions, was: That’s between a woman and her doctor. The next three months is between — I mean, just a woman and her family. Next three months is between a woman and her doctor. The last three months have to be negotiated, because you can’t — unless you are in a position where your physical health is at stake — you can’t do it.”

Sara Gonzales is shocked, saying this was “in complete contrast to earlier this week when he promised that he would veto any bill that came to his desk that would outlaw abortion.”

“I did not know you to not be big on abortion,” Gonzales says, laughing, “and apparently all what — the vast majority of religions have reached agreement that it’s between a woman and her doctor.”
Pat Gray, is surprised as well — but not surprised by the disorienting rashness of Biden’s statement.

“I love it when he pulls these facts right out of his rectal cavity, because that — that’s nonsense, and everybody knows it.”

“I don’t know any major religion that says abortion for the first three months, that’s between a woman and her doctor,” Gray continues, “that’s garbage. That’s a complete lie.”
