H.R. 9132 aims to prohibit foreign nationals from entering into or enforcing surrogacy contracts within the United States. This means that individuals from other countries would not be able to engage in surrogacy arrangements that are legally recognized or enforced in the U.S.
Supporters of H.R. 9132 argue that the bill protects U.S. citizens and ensures that surrogacy practices adhere to domestic laws and ethical standards. They believe it safeguards the rights of surrogates and intended parents, promoting a more regulated and secure environment for surrogacy in the country.
Critics of H.R. 9132 contend that the bill could limit reproductive rights and access to surrogacy for individuals who may not have viable options domestically. They argue that it could disproportionately affect those seeking surrogacy services, particularly members of the LGBTQ+ community and individuals with medical conditions that prevent them from carrying pregnancies.
