Yet another world leader has issued a statement against surrogacy, saying it leads to the commercialization of women and children.<\/p>\n

Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni urged Parliament<\/a> to vote in favor of a bill penalizing those who go abroad to rent women’s wombs, calling surrogacy an “inhuman practice” that turns children into “supermarket products.”<\/p>\n

“No one can convince me that it is an act of freedom to rent one’s womb, no one can convince me that it is an act of love to consider children as an over-the-counter product in a supermarket,” she said. “I still consider the practice of uterus renting to be inhuman, I support the proposed law making it a universal crime.”<\/p>\n

The bill has already been approved by Italy’s lower House, and is currently under debate in the Senate.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, the Vatican issued a document<\/a> slamming things like abortion and surrogacy as attacks on human dignity. Pope Francis likewise has called for an international ban on the “deplorable<\/a>” practice.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe path to peace calls for respect for life, for every human life, starting with the life of the unborn child in the mother\u2019s womb, which cannot be suppressed or turned into an object of trafficking,\u201d Pope Francis said in January. \u201cIn this regard, I deem deplorable the practice of so-called surrogate motherhood, which represents a grave violation of the dignity of the woman and the child, based on the exploitation of situations of the mother\u2019s material needs. A child is always a gift and never the basis of a commercial contract.\u201d<\/p>\n

An international conference was likewise recently held in Rome<\/a>, with leaders from numerous countries present. Olivia Maurel, an anti-surrogacy advocate who was, herself, born from surrogacy also attended, and reiterated her opposition. \u201cThere is no right to have a child. But children do have rights, and we can say surrogacy violates many of these rights,” she said.<\/p>\n

The effort to curb foreign travel for surrogacy in Italy has been under debate since last year<\/a>, though many \u2014 including LGBT families \u2014 have pushed back.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe strenuously say no to the sale of children,\u201d lawmaker Maurizo Lupi said while debating the bill last summer. \u201cSurrogate maternity is the most extreme form of commercialization of the body.\u201d<\/p>\n

The DOJ put a pro-life grandmother in jail for protesting the killing of preborn children. Please take 30-seconds to TELL CONGRESS: STOP THE DOJ FROM TARGETING PRO-LIFE AMERICANS.<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
