[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The one negative thing I will say about the surrogate is this: No one goes into COMMERCIAL surrogacy with a plan to pay off their student loans just because "Oh I saw my friend have a hard time conceiving and I want to help people." If she were doing this from the goodness of her heart she wouldn't have taken the shady "reimbursements." It's not like she was a broke single mom. She is very easily findable and she has a job that pays well in a low cost of living area. So, let's just call a spade a spade, she wanted to make money.

That being said, yeah, Cindy Bi is mentally ill and a nightmare of a human being. [/quote]

This was a financial transaction.  [/quote]

This. Bi is clearly mentally unstable, but let’s not pretend that the surrogate wasn’t in this for a paycheck.

It’s yet another area (similar to abortion) where I think the average upper middle class poster here simply doesn’t get how middle and working class people tend to think about things.[/quote]

I mean…duh, right? Of course surrogates are doing it for the paycheck. And I hope they go in eyes wide open regarding the many physical things that can go wrong. Each pregnancy is a risk. That still doesn’t mean they should be victim to this kind of awful scenario.[b] I don’t understand why people keep bringing up the paycheck aspect.[/b][/quote]

Because they want to believe that the money washes away the immorality and exploitation and buys a veneer of ethics.

DCUM posters are generally pro-surrogacy because they tend to be wealthy women who sympathize with the Cindy Bis of the world rather than the exploited, lower class surrogates. Posts on this topic are always fascinating because the same people who believe they are proper good Obama liberals become ruthless Ayn Randian capitalists when it comes to surrogacy, and they don’t seem to see the hypocrisy.

PP who mentioned abortion. See, this is where I saw the hypocrisy of the left. Women should have autonomy over their bodies - whether to abort an embryo/fetus and whether to be a surrogate. Stop infantilizing women. We are perfectly capable of making decisions about our bodies and lives.[/quote]
