A leading lawmaker in Germany recently caused a firestorm after announcing he and his same-sex partner welcomed a child via surrogacy. Surrogacy is illegal in Germany, and the move sparked immediate pushback especially from pro-lifers. Jens Spahn eventually resigned; but the topic of surrogacy remains at the forefront in several European nations. AC Wimmer, news editor for Europe and Asia for EWTN News, takes a closer look at surrogacy in Germany and throughout Europe, and why especially in France the topic is helping to form unlikely alliances among Church leaders, pro-lifers and others who oppose the practice.
