Italy Passes Anti-Surrogacy Law Affecting LGBTQ and Infertile Couples

ai generated text

On Wednesday, the Italian parliament passed a law that criminalizes seeking surrogacy abroad. The law, which was proposed by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's far-right party, Brothers of Italy, makes it illegal for couples to go abroad to have a baby via surrogacy. The law carries a penalty of jail time and severe fines for would-be parents who use birth mothers abroad.

    1. I think the goal of Giorgia Meloni would be to push … for an international convention abolishing surrogacy.

    1. Motherhood is absolutely unique, it absolutely cannot be surrogated, and it is the foundation of our civilization.
    2. We want to uproot the phenomenon of surrogacy tourism.

    1. We wish for this example to be followed [by other countries].
    2. This is a civilized law that safeguards the child but also the woman, since we believe that surrogacy essentially reduces a woman to a reproductive machine.
    3. It is nature that decides this, not us.

    1. The message is that we are not opening doors to new rights; we are closing doors instead.
    2. What is clearly important for the right wing at this moment is to deliver a message to Italian society.

    1. This is a monstrous law. No country in the world has such a thing.
    2. If someone has a baby, they should be given a medal. Here instead you are sent to jail... if you don't have children in the traditional way.

    1. I believe this is a barbaric practice that creates a market for children regardless of who makes use of it. Everyone should be penalized.

    1. The people who can't hide this are gay couples.
