To think Rebel Wilson makes it sound like she was purchasing a car rather than a baby?

'I'd only been dating Ramona for two months and I had to be like, 'By the way, the surrogate looks like it's out of the first trimester and it is serious and I am going to have a baby by the end of the year.'

I can’t help but feel uncomfortable with the surrogate being referred to as it? And it wasn’t serious when the woman risking her life carrying a baby was implanted?

The whole baby market thing is so depressing. When Angelina Jolie collected one of hers she didn't even hold him. She was walking in front while some minion carried the baby to the aircraft.

They have no idea how awful it looks do they ?

Yep, and Madonna. Didn’t she bring one of hers home and then talked about going straight out to the gym as it was her routine?

It’s fucking baffling.

I don't even know if it's risk they're considering.... But if so, they want you outsource that to poorer women too.

I thought “the pregnancy” was “it” in that quote.

Not to endorse surrogacy, it’s an obscene practice to hire a poorer woman’s body and purchase a baby.

Wasn't there a Chinese actress who had possibly more than one surrogate pregnant for her m, split with her partner/her circumstances changed .... And she decided she didn't want them anymore.

Khloe Kardashian did the same and it is abhorrent.

I'm going to be honest, but I don't understand why she and her partner would choose surrogacy. I mean, I know it's not exactly ethical either way, but I understand why a male same sex couple use a surrogate. Neither of them have a uterus. But a female same sex couple, odds are that at least one of them could have carried a pregnancy.

I think it's because she spent a ton of cash on weight loss/plastic surgery (you can't tell me her weightloss was just eating less and exercising), and in true narc style she doesn't want to "ruin" her body (but it's okay for another woman...). Not sure about the partner though. Presumably it's more of the same.

She sounds VILE. What a way to talk about someone.

Show quote history

I think from the original quote it seems like she pursued surrogacy by herself before she was in a relationship, so I’m not sure if the partner intended to be a parent.
