That's what I remytoo. She knew Lamar was using drugs and didn't want to have his kids. |
Ok, they and their men are all trash. Better? |
She anchored him (and his money) for the next 18 yrs |
I am not particularly interested in the family -- other than to find the whole thing about them kind of fascinating -- but, who are you to decide this? I am SO TIRED of women's healthcare choices being policed by the morality police. Unless g-d whispers in your ear -- in which case you are not well -- you don't have special knowledge of what's right and wrong for someone else. |
I think she’s actually worth more than him |
outsourcing pregnancy is now a healthcare choice? |
Why? If it is mutually agreed upon - why does it matter? |
Yes. My body, my choice. If I choose not to carry a baby for whatever reason, then yes. If I choose to use my eggs and someone else's sperm in another consenting adult's uterus, yes. I don't understand how this is a large leap from the abortion debate. |
From what I can tell from the show she didn't want to do it the natural way with him. Even though she was with him last year it seemed very transactional. |
I agree. If the surrogate is being compensated and the agreement is consensual, I don't see a problem with it. |
I kind of don’t care. She wants a baby but not be pregnant. That’s fine, why would that bother me? It honestly doesn’t seem that different to me than a couple that goes through IVF to have a baby because they can’t conceive naturally. In the past, neither khloe nor the IVF couple would have a baby - Khloe because she wouldn’t want to ruin her figure and the couple because it wouldn’t be possible. Either way, now both get what they desire. I have no problems with either but both are not natural occurrences. |
Why are those bad reasons to use a surrogate? The surrogate is compensated. |
What else would you call it? It wouldn't be my healthcare choice but the 3 times I've been pregnant all very much involved my health. |
+1. No one on this thread knows anything about Khloe's health and her reasoning behind making this decision, nor her surrogate's reasons for deciding to carry the baby. And it doesn't matter. I find it way more disturbing how many (usually white UMC) women are ready to jump in and patronize other women who choose to carry a pregnancy for another woman by assuming they're being exploited and are too stupid to make their own choices about what they do with their own bodies. The whole thing smacks of Anthony Kennedy's musings about how abortion should be made illegal because "the woman might regret it someday." Knock it off, lady. |
It makes me a little squeamish because it does feel like you are putting someone's body through a lot. They could have serious complications, even die. I know they get compensated but it's still kind of exploitative. That said, you can die doing lots of jobs so maybe it's not different from being a construction worker or a miner or any dangerous, physical job. |
