German Parliament Leader Resigns Over Surrogate Baby

Jens Spahn, a leader in Germany's ruling party, had a baby with his husband through a surrogate mother in the United States.

This caused problems because his party is against surrogacy.

Many people in his party wanted him to step down, so he decided to resign.

Surrogacy is not allowed in Germany, but it is not illegal to have a child this way in another country and bring them back to Germany.

Spahn said he wanted to be a father, but he couldn't do that and keep his job at the same time.
