TL;DR

Spain's ruling Socialist party is considering toughening legislation covering surrogate pregnancies after actress and presenter Ana Obregón, 68, used a surrogate mother in Miami to have a baby. Surrogate pregnancies are banned in Spain, although children from such pregnancies can be registered.

The issue of surrogacy may become a topic in Spain's election year.
