That sounds like something tabloids would say but has little relationship to the truth. If you got hard numbers I will look at them and you can prove me wrong.
I'm not trying to sensationalize -- if the pope meant to shame gay couples or couples with health concerns, then that's ridiculous. But people do use surrogates for other reasons, too. Just Google search celebrities and surrogacy. I know some of the Kardashians have said they used surrogates, and I'm sure there are others.
The heterosexual couple I know are not celebrities, but they are obscenely wealthy. They now have two children who were born like 8 months apart, haha, both borne by surrogates. There were no health issues for the woman in the couple -- just convenience and the desire to avoid the normal health issues that pregnancy causes.
Anecdotal. Watch as I dismiss it.
Doesn't make it untrue, but I hear you. It seems nuts.
