Preventing Forced Abortions Act of 2026
To provide for certain conditions on the enforcement of surrogacy contracts.
This bill aims to establish specific conditions for the enforcement of surrogacy contracts. It seeks to ensure that such contracts meet certain standards and protections for all parties involved. The bill was introduced on July 22, 2026, by Andrew Ogles and several co-sponsors, all of whom are Republicans. It was immediately referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary for further review.
The bill would primarily affect individuals and agencies involved in surrogacy arrangements. If passed, it would impose certain conditions that must be met for surrogacy contracts to be legally enforceable, potentially protecting the rights and welfare of intended parents, surrogates, and the resulting children.
As of now, the bill has just been introduced and referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary. No further action has been taken yet, so it is still in the early stages of the legislative process.
