Again! Pope Francis Calls For Global Ban On Surrogacy by Matrixliveng: 12:10pm On Jan 09 |
On Monday, Pope Francis demanded that surrogacy be outlawed worldwide, calling the practice of a woman bearing another person's child "deplorable." The 87-year-old pope called it a "grave violation of the dignity of the woman and the child" in a New Year's address to diplomats at the Vatican.

Consequently, I express my hope for an effort by the international community to prohibit this practice universally.” In June 2022, the pope condemned surrogacy as an “inhuman” practice. “Altruistic” surrogacy, whereby a woman gives birth to a baby on behalf of another woman or couple but no money changes hands, excluding for expenses, is legal in countries including Belgium, the Netherlands, the UK, Canada, Brazil and Colombia. Commercial surrogacy is permitted in some US states. www.matrixngr.com 1 Like 1 Share |

If there's anything the world needs to ban it's organized religions and their storybook. |
