It’s Not ‘Selfish’ For A Paralyzed Woman To Choose Motherhood

A woman who made national news four years ago as the “Paralyzed Bride” has just announced that she will soon become a mother via a surrogate.

Jezebel Shames Generous Woman For Being A Free Surrogate

A 37-year-old woman who in the past three years has carried and delivered three children for two couples was shamed as some sort of pregnancy-addicted-freakshow on Jezebel today, with the headline Woman Addicted To Pregnancy Won’t Stop Till Her Pussy Falls Out. I thought I was going to be met with some Michelle-Duggar-esque story about someone who was overpopulating the world with her own genes.
