Albany, N.Y., Feb 5, 2019 / 08:00 pm (CNA).- Just days after expanding legal abortion up to the point of birth, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is proposing a law that would lift the ban on surrogacy contracts in the state of New York.

If passed, the law would allow New Yorkers to pay a woman to carry to term a child conceived through in-vitro fertilization. It would not allow a surrogate mother to use her own eggs, and therefore be related biologically to the child.
