re: Surrogate refuses abortion. Turns down 10k offer

While I think she should have had the abortion, I respect her choice. No one should be made to have an abortion regardless of the situation.

It was but it didn't say what abnormalities exactly.

No, they wanted to drop it off somewhere. It would have likely died before it got to that as I'm sure they wouldn't have wanted to intervene. But she didn't want her going through the foster care system.

It said something about extreme ones (don't remember the exact term). Who determines what extreme is?

It wasn't her choice to make. It wasn't her child. That's extremely selfish and trying to play god with someone else's kid.

She signed a contract, and she broke it. Period. She knew that it may be an option, but she was a greedy bitch and just needed money. IMO, I think she didnt want to abort because the payments would stop.

I think she should get the choice, and she did. If the parents decide they don't want the child, then the surrogate should be able to take responsibility instead of being forced to have an abortion. She ended up finding some adoptive parents for the child, idk..I think she did an amazing thing.

Right? I mean forget the baby who will have life long medical issues that are likely painful. As long as the surrogate mom didnt have an abortion.

No, I just don't think she should be forced into having one. Seems like the child is doing alright..but I don't know. I guess I don't think she should have become a surrogate if she couldn't handle it, but I don't really think she made the wrong choice.

by fleeing the state she was in to escape the contract that she signed....right.....
