Full Surrogacy Now: Feminism Against Family

Full Surrogacy Now is a radical call for full gestational justice that recognizes the implications of knowing that we all make one another and that this labor is exploited, extracted, and alienated. It offers a brilliant critique of bourgeois and communist tracts and feminist and other ideologies, and presents a utopian, partisan, anti-authoritarian communist defense of surrogates and surrogacy. Lewis asks the necessary questions about parenting politically, hopefully, nonreproductively, and becoming full surrogates for and with each other, and convincingly affirms that we can see beautiful militants hell-bent on regeneration, not self-replication.

Full Surrogacy Now is a groundbreaking call for full gestational justice that goes beyond mere advocacy. It delves into the profound implications of recognizing our interconnectedness and the ongoing exploitation of this labor under Capitalism and Patriarchy. This book is a treasure trove of brilliant, generative, and fiercely critical analysis, encompassing both bourgeois and communist tracts, as well as feminist perspectives. Lewis' unique voice is both captivating and invigorating, offering a fresh perspective on the possibilities of creating oddkin who are not mere property.

In her quest to write an immoderate, utopian, partisan, anti-authoritarian communist defense of surrogates and surrogacy, Lewis has achieved remarkable success. She poses thought-provoking questions that challenge our assumptions and beliefs about parenting, companionship, and the nature of reproduction. Can we parent politically, hopefully, nonreproductively in a comradely way? Can we become full surrogates for and with each other?

Through her compelling arguments and relentless dissection of injustice disguised as humanitarianism, Lewis convincingly affirms that there is a world of beautiful militants who are dedicated to regeneration rather than mere self-replication. This book is a testament to the power of collective action and the potential for radical change in the face of systemic oppression.

In conclusion, Full Surrogacy Now is a must-read for anyone who seeks to understand the complexities of gestational justice and the urgent need for transformative change. Lewis' bold and visionary approach offers a roadmap for building a more inclusive and equitable world, where the rights and well-being of all individuals, regardless of their reproductive status, are prioritized.
