The extreme proposal came in an amendment filed Friday to Giorgia Meloni’s right-wing Brothers of Italy (FdI) party.
The proposed bill would make surrogacy a “universal crime”, even abroad.
Surrogacy is a practice that is widely used by gay couples in the US, Spain and other developed countries.
The League’s further stricture against surrogacy includes punishing the public official who registers the children born from that practice.
Both Meloni and League leader Matteo Salvini have described the ‘babies for sale’ practice of paying allegedly vulnerable women and depriving infants of their natural mothers as “abominable”.
The centre-left opposition is fighting the bill.
