Why is the notion of Beyonce using a surrogate carrier for her child so detestable? If that were true, I actually would totally understand why she made that decision. Not every woman wants to have children, and we are not obligated to do so. But if she has this husband possibly pressuring her to "give him a child" (which several men selfishly do to their wives ), and miscarried in the past, which would make her not want to put her body/life and potential child at risk again, a surrogate is a perfect option.
I see what you're saying but given that Beyonce and Jay dated for several years prior to marrying, one would think the subject of children would have come up and if she truly did not want to be a mother to a spawn of Jay's (even though he wanted it) then that should have been a deal breaker and they should not have wed. There should never be a pressure to have kids.
Yes, women are not obligated to become mothers but we are certainly designed for it and if a woman is having unprotected sex and is capable of reproduction well...guess what's going to happen.
Now as for the miscarriage, first time pregnancies often end in miscarriage and some women experience difficulting in conceiving after they have come off a long stint of birth control. I can't imagine this would be so traumatizing that she wouldn't try getting pregnant again unless a doctor pointed out some biological reason why she shouldn't or couldn't carry a baby. Even if such a condition existed, why go through a charade of a fake baby bump? Just fess up and possibly help other women with reproductive issues feel unashamed.
I think what is coming off as detestable are the rumors that Bey didn't want to "ruin" her figure and that is why she considered or chose a surrogate. Now if this is true, that a woman as young and active and with money to blow on cosmetic surgery considered a first time pregnancy the killer of her hour glass figure, then that would make her incredibly vain and selfish and perhaps with such characteristics she shouldn't be a mom.
Disclaimer: I don't believe Bey was never pregnant but I do believe she toyed with the press to keep them guessing about her due date. I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE UGLY. YOU JUST HAVE BAD LUCK WHEN IT COMES TO MIRRORS AND SUNLIGHT!
