About this sermon
A pro-life group in Mexico is pushing for a ban on surrogacy. Members of the group Steps for Life call the practice whereby a woman agrees to carry a baby on behalf of another woman or couple, "an exploitation of female fertility." The Church condemns the act and last year Pope Francis warned, "The dignity of men and women is threatened by the inhuman and increasingly widespread practice of 'rent a womb...' in which women, almost always poor, are exploited and children are treated as merchandise." Ana Cecilia Limon with Steps for Life Michoacan, joins to discuss whether this is a growing practice in Mexico. Limon shares whether she believes what the Pope said about the women targeted being poor. Limon's group has painted murals throughout the country. She tells us about the message they are hoping to share through those murals. She explains what this does to a child who spends his or her first 9 months in a womb that is not his mother's. The Church has always opposed surrogacy. Limon fills us in on what drives this fight and why they oppose it. EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
