Italy’s right-wing government is removing lesbian mothers’ names from their children’s birth certificates as part of a crackdown on same-sex parenting and surrogacy. In the northern city of Padua, 27 mothers have been removed from their children’s birth certificates, CNN reported Friday. And in Bergamo, at least one mom was removed from her child’s birth certificate, the Daily Mail reported. AdvertisementThe draconian new measure allows only a child’s biological parent to be listed on their birth certificate. The measure will also block men in same-sex relationships from registering the birth of their child with both dads’ names, according to CNN.
