Pope Francis strongly advocates for a global ban on surrogacy, labeling it as ‘Despicable’

Pope Francis expressed strong opposition to surrogate motherhood. He described it as a “despicable” practice that should be universally prohibited. He denounced the commercialization of pregnancy and the exploitation of women’s material needs, stating that it represents a grave violation of human dignity.

The Pope emphasized that an unborn child should never be treated as an object of trafficking or be subject to commercial contracts. He called for a global ban on surrogacy to ensure the protection of women and children worldwide.
