Italy officially bans surrogacy internationally, effectively blocking all paths for gay couples to become parents

by | Oct 22, 2024 | News

Italy on Wednesday criminalized going abroad to have children through surrogacy, virtually making it impossible for gay couples to be parents. The measure slammed by opponents as “medieval” and discriminatory to gays, but the measure goes for all sexes.

It’s extending a  ban in place since 2004 — promoted by Premier Giorgia Meloni’s party. Italians seeking surrogacy in the US or Canada can face up to two years in jail with $1.1 million in fines.
