“Italy passed a law on Wednesday that criminalizes seeking surrogacy abroad, a move the country’s conservative government said would protect women’s dignity, while critics said it would deprive gay or infertile couples of a way to have children.
Surrogacy is already illegal in Italy. But the government of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has vowed to broaden the ban to punish Italians who seek it in countries where it is legal, like in parts of the United States.
Italy’s Senate approved the bill with 84 votes in favor and 58 against.
The Roman Catholic church, along with many feminists, have opposed surrogacy, and it is outlawed in other European countries. In some, like the United Kingdom and Greece, it is legal under certain conditions.”
I thought Italy was worried about the declining birth rate?
There is nothing worse than conservative values.
This is just evil, pure evil.
If something is allowed in other countries, then prosecuting it from the country of origin introduces chaos into international relations. Ultimately, this is a bad solution, leading to problems and indirectly imposing different laws on other countries.
Does Italy intend to act systematically and symmetrically and, for example, stone a woman for adultery if she escapes punishment in Saudi Arabia?
It’s just stupidity and that’s all…
Shame on us
It’s not enough that Italians are leaving the country as it is… let’s give them more reasons to leave. But what can you do when you elect idiots…
I am convinced that the birthing mother has every right to keep the child she birthed. So any surrogacy ‘system’ can only work if it’s absolutely voluntary and as long as the genetic parents respect that.
