Ep 836 | Surrogacy Horror: Gay ‘Dads’ Demand Abortion | Guest: Brittney Pearson

Today we're joined by Brittney Pearson, a mother of four and a two-time surrogate who found herself in a horrific situation when she was diagnosed with aggressive cancer 24 weeks into her most recent surrogacy journey. Since the baby she was carrying was already viable, she could have delivered the baby early and doctors could have attempted to save the boy, but the two men who hired Brittney refused to go that route. They wanted the “fetus,” as they called their son, aborted, even when Brittney and her family members offered to adopt the child. Brittney shares her gut-wrenching story, walking us through the details. We give a little background on surrogacy and share some stories in the news that further prove Brittney's story is not the only horror story out there.
