Spanish Outrage Over Ana Obregón’s Surrogate Pregnancy In The United States – Biography, Net Worth, Age, Weight, Height, Relationships

Spanish actress Ana Obregón has drawn criticism after admitting to having a daughter via surrogacy in the United States at the age of 68.

Obregón is best known for his roles in a variety of Spanish sitcoms.

Her only child, a son, died of cancer at the age of 27 in 2020, and she has since spoken of her efforts to move on with her life.

Spain prohibits all types of surrogacy, but parents who return to the country can adopt the child.

Surrogacy is when a woman agrees to carry and give birth to a child for another person. It is often, but not always, done for money.

Obregón, who lost both her parents as well as her son, appeared on the cover of ¡Hola! magazine this week, and was seen outside a Florida hospital, holding a newborn baby.

Ana Obregón later responded to the magazine cover in an Instagram post, saying:

“A loving light entered my darkness, and I will never be alone again. I AM ALIVE AGAIN.”

His words sparked controversy on Spanish social media, and the move angered certain ministers in Spain’s left-wing administration.

Education Minister Pilar Alegra described Obregón’s release from the hospital as “dantesque,” referring to the Italian author’s descent into hell.

Equality Minister Irene Montero described the action as “a form of aggression against women” and said there was a “clear poverty bias” against women who become surrogate mothers because they are economically disadvantaged.

Ms. Alegra further said,

“This is not surrogacy, but rather renting a uterus, which is prohibited in Spain.”

Minister of the Presidency Félix Bolaos commented,

“A woman’s body should not be sold or rented to satisfy anyone’s whims.”

Cuca Gamarra, the second-in-command of the conservative Popular Party, was more cautious and said that the issue should be addressed in “deep and calm conversations” because it raises several moral, ethical and religious problems.

Almost five years ago, a Socialist-led coalition government came to power in Spain and made women’s rights a top priority.

Earlier this year, it implemented stricter limits on surrogacy by banning advertising by surrogacy agencies.

It describes surrogacy as a form of violence against women and similarly classifies “reproductive exploitation”, forced pregnancy and forced abortion, forced sterilization and forced contraception.
