Italian parents of a newborn via surrogacy in the US fear returning home after Giorgia Meloni's government passed a law criminalizing overseas surrogacy for Italians. This law places violators alongside serious criminals, with penalties up to two years in prison and hefty fines. The couple's lawyer indicates that they may remain in the US due to anxiety about potential prosecution. The government enforces this law as part of a broader agenda to uphold traditional family values, impacting many families who previously sought surrogacy abroad.
The law criminalizes Italian citizens who engage in surrogacy abroad, equating them with terrorists and placing them at risk of severe penalties and social ostracism.
Italy's far-right government is pursuing conservative policies prioritizing traditional family values, while creating significant concern and uncertainty for Italian citizens abroad.
