The seven bishops of Louisiana issued the following statement regarding HB 187, introduced by Rep. Joe Lopinto, R-Metairie, on the issue of gestational surrogacy. The bill was approved by the House Civil Law Committee on March 25 after being heavily amended. The bishops remain opposed to HB 187 as church teaching dictates that surrogacy in any form be opposed.
The bill, along with the amendments, can be found at legis.la.gov. (Click on “bills” tab.) Catholics are asked to contact their legislators about the bill.
In addition to Archbishop Aymond, the bishops of Louisiana are Bishop Michael Jarrell of Lafayette, Bishop Robert W. Muench of Baton Rouge, Bishop Ronald P. Herzog of Alexandria, Bishop Glen John Provost of Lake Charles, Bishop Michael G. Duca of Shreveport and Bishop Shelton J. Fabre of Houma-Thibodaux.
