Monstrous Massachusetts Bill Would Allow Moms to Sell Their Unborn Children to the Highest Bidder
(LifeSiteNews) — The Massachusetts’s House of Representatives just voted unanimously to pass a monstrous bill that would, ostensibly, allow women to sell their unborn children to the highest bidder.
The measure commodifies women and allows children to be treated as nothing more than chattel — as items to be sold — although none of the legislators are saying that out loud.
Known as the “Parentage Equality Bill,” or H.4672, the Act devilishly banishes the immutable truth that children should be raised in a loving home by their biological parents while obliterating the terms “mother” and “father,” trading them out for “person who gives birth” and “other parent,” or “genetic source.” Even the pronoun “his” is dumped in favor of a more ambiguous, non-gendered “their.”
The Act is written as if the complementarity of the sexes were an outdated social construct.
This bill redefines parenthood “on the basis of a ‘person’s intent to be a parent of a child,’” noted Patience Griswold of Them Before Us (TBU), an organization devoted to protecting children’s rights, writing at The Federalist. “In doing so, it strips all mention of mothers and fathers from parentage law, replacing these vital familial roles with gender-erased language.”
Sponsors say the bill will protect relationships between parents and children, but in reality it protects the rights of parents who obtain children through surrogacy. And many, if not most, of those parents will be homosexual men.
As such, while purporting to protect relationships between parents and children, the bill untethers the all-important, irreplaceable relationship every child has for his or her mother, completely disregarding that universal longing.
Apparently not a single legislator was troubled by the content or intent of the bill, which passed 156-0. It will now advance to the Massachusetts Senate.
It’s unsurprising that this measure is making its way through the Massachusetts legislature. After all, the Bay State was the first to embrace the impossible notion of same-sex “marriage” back in 2004, and its Supreme Court ruled more than three decades ago that same-sex partners could adopt kids.
Griswold describes the very thin line the proposed law creates between “parentage equality” and outright baby-selling:
In any other circumstance, if a woman accepts money in exchange for handing over her parental claim on her child, she has engaged in baby-selling. Under this bill, she can do exactly that if she has secured a valid surrogacy contract, even if she makes the arrangement with the purchasing parents after she has become pregnant, providing the contract is validated before the child is born.
Under H. 4672, the following would be perfectly legal: a woman undergoes the physical and mental health screenings required to become a surrogate, becomes pregnant via sperm from a sperm bank, and then posts to a surrogacy forum or social media group that she is not only available as a surrogate but already pregnant.
She could then choose to “match” with the couple willing to pay the highest “payment of consideration,” essentially auctioning off her child. As long as the surrogacy agreement meets the requirements outlined in the bill, it could be validated by a court and viewed as not only permissible but legally binding. However, if that same woman became pregnant and decided to make an agreement with a couple to adopt her child, while insisting that she be paid for placing her child with them, she would be prosecuted for baby selling.
After Wednesday’s vote, the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) issued a gleeful report on the passage of the legislation, focusing solely on the increased legal rights for LGBT-identifying individuals whose sexual relationships are 100% unable to produce children naturally while ignoring the erosion of the rights of children who might be purchased or otherwise obtained via the measure.
“What we are doing today is giving a tune up to our statutory structure to reflect the modern and contemporary ways that people become parents whether they are straight or gay,” said House Rep. Sarah Peake, a Democrat from Provincetown, New England’s gay Mecca.
“At the heart of this bipartisan legislation lies a simple yet profound principle: The recognition of legal parentage should not be contingent upon outdated norms or narrow definitions,” Rep. Hannah Kane, a Republican co-sponsor of the bill, said during her floor speech Wednesday. “It is a principle that acknowledges the diverse tapestry of modern families and affirms their right to legal recognition and protection under the law.”
In other words, children’s rights are being eroded in order to accommodate the desire of homosexuals who demand to experience parenthood. The “tapestry” Kane refers to is woven with garish rainbow colors; and the so-called “outdated norms or narrow definitions” refer to those that are based on the supreme truth regarding the complementarity of man and woman.
Perhaps the most truthful statement came from Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell, who admitted that the bill is meant to advance “reproductive and LGBTQ+ rights.”
“Our state parental laws have not kept pace with the diversity of modern-day families, and as other states take the necessary steps to protect families, provide stability for children and advance reproductive and LGBTQ+ rights, it is clear it is well past the time for us to act and pass the Massachusetts Parentage Act,” Campbell said.
Headlines from local media didn’t obscure the meaning of the law the way Massachusetts politicos did.
“Updated Parentage Act, which guarantees equal rights for LGBTQ+ parents, passes in the House,” blared one headline, while another admitted “Mass. House votes to expand the definition of ‘parent.’”
The legislation was supported by a vast array of LGBTQ+ and “reproductive rights” organizations, including the LGBT Washington, D.C. lobbying powerhouse, The Human Rights Campaign (HRC), Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts, and Williams Institute on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Law and Public Policy.
Many of the supporting organizations profit from IVF and surrogacy procedures, which deny the dignity — and often end the lives — of unborn children.
“Reproductive equity is not a reality in Massachusetts until every individual — and every LGBTQ+ family — is able to make decisions about whether and when to parent, and to parent with dignity,” Reproductive Equity Now president Rebecca Hart Holder said in a statement. “This bill will protect family formation in a post-Dobbs world, ensure that LGBTQ+ parents have the protections they need to start or build their families.”
“Children have a right to be born free, not bought and sold. No amount of saccharine wording can mask the fact that the ‘Parentage Equality’ bill monetizes women’s bodies and turns children into products,” TBU’s Griswold concluded. “The women and children of Massachusetts deserve better.”
US Navy SEALs Engage in LGBTQIAAP2S+ ‘Pride Prancing’ on Social Media as Nuclear World War Looms
The elite Navy SEALs division of the United States military, long considered to be one of the most well-respected fighting forces in the world, has gone woke by joining the LGBT Pride mob.
Not long before the Biden regime’s Department of Defense (DoD) blasted Pride colors and flags all across social media, the official Navy SEALs social media accounts did the exact same thing in celebration of Pride.
While much of corporate America has toned down its Pride Month festivities due to massive public backlash, the U.S. military is forging onward in pushing perversion and degeneracy on the masses.
According to the U.S. military, “lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer” (LGBTQ) lifestyles deserve to be celebrated. The U.S. armed forces consider all of these sexual appetites to constitute “Dignity, Service, Respect and Equality.”

Facebook users respond to Navy’s Pride push
As has been happening a lot in recent years, the social media-sphere was really upset after the U.S. Naval Special Warfare Command account on Facebook did a digital LGBT Pride prance for the world to see.
Not long after the unit unleashed a torrent of six-colored “rainbow” posts in promotion of Pride, the official account limited its responses due to massive public backlash.
One post received 370 ridiculing “Laugh” emoji responses, along with 350 “Angry” reactions. Comparatively, there were less than 200 positive responses to the post, which in the social media world is referred to as a “ratio.”
“This is a slap in the face of every special warfare operator that has put their lives on the line for our nation,” commented someone named John Jeacopello in response to the post.
“I know plenty of current and former SEALs who are disgusted with this,” said another, named Luke Pierson. “Please repent of this debaucherous behavior and stick to what you’re good at.”
Another person named Owen Merton wrote that this “woke s*** … is like a cancer and needs to be handled and dealt with as a threat to national security.”
“Gone way too far,” Merton added.
Another person named Arcides Cruz who claims to have once served in the U.S. armed forces expressed thankfulness to no longer be in the military today.
“So glad I got out before this b******* took over,” Cruz added.
Conservative commentator Todd Starnes wrote an article of his own that explained the tone deafness of the Navy in promoting such filth.
“One of the greatest concerns among veterans and active duty servicemembers is the wokeness that has infected nearly every branch of the service,” Starnes wrote. “Instead of raising up fierce defenders of freedom, the woke Pentagon is raising up an army of social justice warriors.”
“Our enemies are laughing at us, America.”
Despite all this backlash, the DoD proceeded to post a pro-Pride message on X that just like the Navy’s Facebook post drew ire from the world of social media.
The DoD post called for the American public to “come together to honor the contributions of LGBTQ+ service members,” adding that the U.S. military is committed to “ensuring and promoting an atmosphere of dignity and respect for all civilian and military personnel.”
At least 7,000 people commented on the post, which only had about 1,500 “Likes.” This, too, is an example of being ratioed, meaning the post in question is wildly unpopular.
“If anyone is wondering why they keep posting this despite the fact that we all hate it, it’s because this is a Regime humiliation tactic,” commented Pete D’Abrosca about the DoD’s pro-Pride post.
“They know we can’t do anything about it so they’re flipping us the bird.”

Gates Foundation Awards $4M Grant to Fund Digital ID Initiative
The Gates Foundation continues to bankroll various initiatives around the world aimed at introducing digital ID and payments by the end of this decade.
The scheme is known as the digital public infrastructure (DPI), and those pushing it include private or informal groups like the said foundation and the World Economic Forum (WEF), but also the US, the EU, and the UN.
And now, the UK-based AI and data science research group Alan Turing Institute has become the recipient of a renewed grant, this time amounting to $4 million, given by the Gates Foundation.
This has been announced as initial funding for the Institute’s initiative to ensure “responsible” implementation of ID services.
The Turing Institute is presenting its work that will be financed by the grant over the next three years as a multi-disciplinary project focused on positive issues, such as ensuring that launching DPI elements (like digital ID) is done with privacy and security concerns properly addressed.
But – given the past and multi-year activities of the Gates Foundation, nobody should be blamed for interpreting this as an attempt to actually whitewash these key issues – namely privacy and security – that opponents of centralizing people’s identities through digital ID schemes consistently warn about.
In announcing the renewed grant, the Turing Institute made it clear that it considers implementing “ID services” a positive direction, which according to the organization improves anything from inclusion, access to services and to human rights.
But apparently, some “tweaking” around privacy and security (or at least “enhancing” the perception of how they are handled in digital ID programs) – is needed. Hence, perhaps, the new initiative.
“The project aims to enhance the privacy and security of national digital identity systems, with the ultimate goal to maximize the value to beneficiaries, whilst limiting known and unknown risks to these constituents and maintaining the integrity of the overall system,” the Institute said.

A lot of big words, and positive sentiment – but, in simpler words, what the statement amounts to is a promise to somehow “auto-magically” cover all the bases. That is – at once secure the benefits while obliterating the negatives. (Maybe the Institute has a spare bridge to sell, too /s)
The worry here is that this could be yet another Gates Foundation PR blitz aimed at improving the image of the mistrusted, by rights-minded people, “DPI” push – a distrust that in no insignificant part stems from not trusting its biggest proponents as having any genuinely noble intentions to begin with.
An interesting piece of information that we do learn from the announcement is that every year, “billions of dollars are being invested to develop more secure, scalable, and user-friendly identity (digital ID) systems.”
US Sends Submarine to Cuba After Russian Ships Arrive
An American attack submarine has docked at the US base of Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, a day after a four-ship Russian task force sailed into Havana on a long-range expedition.
USS Helena, a Los Angeles-class boat, arrived on Thursday for a “routine port visit,”the US Southern Command said in a statement.
“The vessel’s location and transit were previously planned,” SOUTHCOM added, noting that the Helena is “conducting its global maritime security and national defense mission.”
AP described the submarine’s arrival as “a show of force” by Washington, in response to the presence of Russian ships so close to US shores.
A four-vessel task force of the Russian Navy’s Northern Fleet sailed into Havana on Wednesday. Leading the group was the missile frigate Admiral Gorshkov, along with the Yasen-class nuclear-powered submarine Kazan, two of Russia’s most modern naval assets.
Two support ships, the oil tanker Pashin and salvage tug Nikolay Chiker, accompanied the task force to the Caribbean, in what Moscow described last month as a “long-distance expedition” intended to “show the flag” and “ensure a naval presence in operationally important areas.”

The Russian Defense Ministry has made no further comments on the flotilla’s mission, leading to intense speculation in the US that its presence could be a message about the actions of Washington and its allies in Ukraine.
“Clearly this is them signaling their displeasure about what we’re doing for Ukraine,” White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said earlier this week, adding that the US had “no indication and no expectation that nuclear weapons will be at play here.”
The Cuban government has since stated that the Russian ships were not equipped with nuclear missiles, and that their mission was in full accordance with international law.
The Gorshkov and the Kazan practiced long-range sea strikes while en route to Cuba, as several US Navy vessels shadowed them from a distance.
“We of course take it seriously, but these exercises don’t pose a threat to the US,” Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh told reporters on Wednesday.
The Kazan was commissioned in 2021, while the Gorshkov entered service in 2018. The Helena, on the other hand, dates back to 1987.
On Wednesday, just before the Helena was dispatched to Cuba, the US Navy announced that one of its crew members had died last month. The body of Sonar Technician Submarine 3rd Class Timothy Sanders was discovered on board the submarine while it was moored at Naval Station Norfolk on May 24. The Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) is investigating the case.
