A German couple in Mannheim has been convicted to a life sentence for murdering a 27-year old Ukrainian woman and her 51-year old mother and for stealing the woman’s then 5-weeks old baby after setting its mother on fire.
“The couple were motivated by their long-unfulfilled wish to have a daughter”.
Margarita, who fled the war, needed help with translations for her upcoming birth. The German couple contacted her through a help group chat for refugees. Margarita was then 8 months pregnant.
Although it’s not a surrogate case, it’s important to point out that Ukraine is the European country with the largest market for surrogate mothers. And the Germans are their best customers.
Currently, Germany is debating two things:
One- revoking the embryo protection act which criminalizes surrogacy - in order to enable altruistic surrogacy
Two- decriminalizing abortion (women have access to abortion up to 12 weeks but legally abortion is a crime)
Now, in order for the law to be de-criminalized, the embryo protection act needs to be reframed or revoked. You see where this is going? Leftists are trying to be „feminist“ champions by calling for the decriminalization of abortion. At the same time the same politicians are lobbying for lifting the strict bans on surrogacy, who they deem outdated. It’s „Zuckerbrot und Peitsche“ for women, which means a carrot and a stick. It’s deeply cynical.
This case does not receive the media coverage it truly deserves and nobody is making the connection to the surrogacy/ poor Ukrainian woman theme here, except radical feminist magazine „Emma“.
