The Pope Is Against Surrogacy?! Calls Parenting Choice 'Deplorable'!
Pope Francis has taken a drastic -- and very controversial -- stance against surrogacy! During a speech on Monday, the 87-year-old called for a global ban
on surrogacy, calling it a “deplorable” practice that “is based on the exploitation” of mothers’ material needs and is “a grave violation of the dignity of the woman and the child,” according to CNN and Reuters. According to Stephanie Levich, the founder of Family Match Consulting, who chatted with People on Tuesday, the pontiff’s request could actually have “dangerous” consequences if followed through with. It’s such a wild stance — especially since, as many have pointed out since Francis’ statement, the Virgin Mary herself was essentially a surrogate mother to Jesus (though that’s obvi a highly debated idea).
