Texas Surrogacy Ban Sparks National Debate | San Antonio News

Texas lawmakers are eyeing a ban on foreign nationals using surrogacy, sparking fierce debate over immigration, citizenship, and national security. With Florida already enacting similar laws targeting “hostile” countries and Congress considering follow-up measures, the push is fueled by reports of Chinese nationals using U.S. surrogates — including a high-profile case involving child endangerment charges. State reps are also moving to curb birth tourism and restrict birth certificates for non-citizen children, even prompting a lawsuit against a birthing center. Critics warn such restrictions could severely limit access to surrogacy for American families struggling with infertility, forcing them to seek alternatives overseas — if they can afford it.
