news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8568733.stmTurkey bans trips abroad for artificial insemination A new law passed in Turkey has made it a criminal offence for a woman to go abroad and get pregnant via artificial insemination. Artificial insemination is already illegal, but women have until now been able to go overseas to seek sperm donors. It is hard to imagine pregnant women being put on trial just for the way they conceived, but not impossible in Turkey, where last month a 15-year-old Kurdish girl was jailed for nearly eight years just for taking part in a demonstration. Now they will face punishment of one to three years in prison for doing so. Doctors and lawyers say they are trying to find out how the government plans to enforce the law. All sorts of activities can land you in court, and possibly in jail, in Turkey. Insulting "Turkishness", taking part in demonstrations, or showing the slightest sympathy for the banned Kurdish Workers' Party, for example. Now you can add to that long list the crime of using a foreign sperm donor.
