I am so tired of the whole “cool pope” thing with Francis. It’s 100% PR.

    In the U.S., where medical care is expensive, I think money to cover that should be expected.

      Absolutely! And more to cover other expenses like maternity clothing, any comfort items to manage the pregnancy, additional dietary needs, and probably some more to help account for how traumatic a pregnancy can be and the body changes it causes.

      I’m absolutely not advocating that a surrogate shouldn’t get paid. Just that it’s hard to separate payment from coercion in even the best situations.
