Yes, surrogacy can exploit women and their bodies. But like JD Vance, Italy's Giorgia Meloni is really just trying to impose her own conception of the family on everyone else.

The new law, proposed by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s right-wing governing party, extends an existing prohibition on surrogacy in Italy. It targets people with a penalty of maximum two years in prison and fines of up to €1 million, if they travel to a country where the practice is legal to have a baby via surrogacy.

Italy’s parliament made it illegal on Wednesday for couples to go abroad to have a baby via surrogacy — a pet project of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s party which activists say is meant to target same-sex partners.
