🧵where I make my case that if SB 107 passes in California, we will have demonstrated that we have forgotten our states past history of being complicit in mass involuntary sterilizations. 1/

Thread 1/ I also read a lot of lawsuits (in addition to surrogacy contracts). This particular lawsuit was between a U.S. egg "donor" & a fertility agency in Canada working w a Canadian couple. Under fed. law in Canada, you may not pay for eggs.
2/ This part of the lawsuit states how aggressively this woman was stimulated to produce eggs, (45 eggs!!), which puts her at severe risk, for OHSS, stroke, organ failure, lost fertility etc. The MD cleared her to hop on a plane and fly back home to FL, that very same day.
