Only weeks after he approved blessing same-sex couples, Pope Francis has spoken out against the practice of surrogacy, likening it to human trafficking.
“I consider despicable the practice of so-called surrogate motherhood, which represents a grave violation of the dignity of the woman and the child, based on the exploitation of situations of the mother’s material needs,” he said in a recent foreign policy address, according to the Associated Press.
Pope Francis then called for a universal ban on surrogacy, saying a child should “never be the basis of a commercial contract.” He has previously referred to surrogacy as “uterus for rent.”
