Padua is the first city in Italy to retroactively cancel birth certificates, but rights groups are concerned that other regions, especially those controlled by center-right governments, will follow suit.Īt the end of June, around 300 women took part in a sit-in outside Padua’s palace of justice after a state prosecutor in the city said the birth certificates of 33 children born to lesbian couples were not legal.
Meloni campaigned heavily on an anti-LGBT ticket, and since taking office in October has been vocal about her desire to ensure “all babies are born from a man and a woman.” The law has not yet been debated in parliament, and has been criticized for targeting same-sex couples specifically, but it would also extend to heterosexual couples who use surrogacy services abroad. If it passes, anyone breaking the law could face a two-year jail term and a fine of more than $1 million.
In March, Meloni’s government also introduced legislation to extend the national ban on surrogacy to couples who use such services abroad. Giorgia Meloni claims victory to become Italy's most far-right prime minister since Mussolini Leader of Brothers of Italy Giorgia Meloni votes at a polling station during the snap election in Rome, Italy September 25, 2022.
