Italy bans couples from seeking surrogate parents abroad

On Wednesday, Italy passed the most restrictive law against international surrogacy in the West. It threatens jail time for would-be parents who use birth mothers abroad. Critics say its target is same-sex couples and that it's Prime Minister Georgia Meloni's latest step to appease hardline conservatives. Host Carolyn Beeler speaks with Cecilia Emma Sottilotta, a political science professor at the University for Foreigners of Perugia in Italy, about the political and cultural backdrop to this ban.
