Gabriel Attal défend l’idée selon laquelle il serait possible d’avoir recours en France à une GPA « éthique ».
Gabriel Attal a annoncé le lancement d'une « convention thématique » dédiée à la réflexion autour de la légalisation de la GPA éthique.

Overview

  • Gabriel Attal has launched a Renaissance thematic convention on legalizing an “ethical” gestation pour autrui, with conclusions expected in the autumn and a vote of party members planned.
  • He is not tabling a bill at this stage and may fold the issue into his 2027 presidential platform after internal deliberations.
  • Attal’s team describes the model as tightly regulated and non‑lucrative, based on consent with no direct transactions between the surrogate and intended parents, with compensation rules still to be defined.
  • He frames the debate around natality and equality of rights, noting that French law bans GPA domestically but recognizes parentage for children born via GPA abroad to both heterosexual and homosexual couples.
  • The move has drawn immediate pushback, with Interior Minister and LR leader Bruno Retailleau denouncing the concept and signaling to the Paris prosecutor suspected illegal GPA intermediation involving U.S. firms.
