Italy bans gay couples from becoming parents and makes it illegal for Italians to seek surrogacy abroad

Italy has made it illegal for Italians to look for surrogacy services in other countries, even where it’s allowed. This new law blocks gay couples from becoming parents through surrogacy and has faced backlash for being unfair to LGBTQ+ families. Surrogacy was already illegal in Italy, but now this law adds international cases to the ban, with possible prison time and fines for those who break it.
