(LifeSiteNews) – Reality TV star Khloe Kardashian recently shared her struggles to connect with her son who was born via surrogacy, a process which she described negatively as “transactional” but still praised as a “great” option for parenthood.
The celebrity – known for her part in her family’s reality show “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” – discussed the surrogacy experience candidly in the season three premiere, expressing how she felt “guilty” for taking home a baby nurtured and delivered by another woman, admitting that the whole process is “not about” the child.
Kardashian conceived and carried her first child herself in 2018, turning to surrogacy for her second. The baby boy was born in August 2022, months before she spoke openly about how the surrogate process is “really hard for me.”
“It’s a mind f***,” Kardashian said in the season premiere, which aired on May 25, saying that she feels “less connected” to her son because of the unnatural process. “This is not easy.”
Donald Trump has suggested a 6-week abortion ban is ”too harsh”, attacking Gov. Ron DeSantis for his bill protecting innocent human life after 6 weeks.
Obviously pro-lifers wish to protect all human life from conception with outright abortion bans.
SIGN: Donald Trump MUST support pro-life legislation
The former president said he is ”looking at all alternatives” when asked if he would support such a 6-week ban, making this a crucial opportunity for pro-life voters to make their views known to him in no uncertain terms.
“He has to do what he has to do,” Trump said about Gov. DeSantis’ abortion bill. “If you look at what DeSantis did, a lot of people don’t even know if he knew what he was doing. But he signed six weeks, and many people within the pro-life movement feel that that was too harsh.”
Anyone truly in the pro-life movement thinking the ban is too harsh must mean it’s too harsh on those babies less than 6-weeks who can still be murdered.
Mr. Trump’s outlandish claim about anyone in the pro-life movement opposing the ban is doubtful to say the least, but there was more to follow in the interview.
When pressed on whether he thought the bill was ”too harsh”, Trump would not answer directly, instead saying: ”I’m looking at all alternatives. I’m looking at many alternatives. But I was able to get us to the table by terminating Roe v. Wade. That’s the most important thing that’s ever happened for the pro-life movement.”
The former president is correct in saying the overturning of Roe v. Wade was a monumental step for the pro-life movement, but it should only be the beginning of banning the killing of babies in the womb entirely.
Donald Trump’s belief that even a 6-week abortion ban is extreme spells trouble for every citizen concerned about ending abortion, which is why we need you to take part in this urgent petition to him.
SIGN & SHARE: We must change Donald Trump‘s mind on abortion
Our true loyalty is to innocent human beings facing death, none more so than those in the womb, and any candidate who prevaricates about something so important to building a civilized society has to be corrected.
We urge all Republican candidates to advocate for a total ban on abortion, without any exceptions – not just at 6-week’s gestation as an incremental measure.
SIGN & SHARE our petition urging Donald Trump to do the right thing.

Pro-life bioethicists note that surrogacy brings with it a host of ethical dilemmas, one being that babies conceived through it are ripped away from the only human – who may not even technically be the child’s biological mother – who they have ever known during their short life in-utero.
“I felt really guilty that this woman just had my baby and I take the baby and then I go to another room, and you’re sort of separated,” she recalled. “I felt it was such a transactional experience because it’s not about him [the baby].”
Despite honestly expressing her conflicting emotions about the unnatural way in which her child was conceived, carried, and delivered by using another woman’s body, Kardashian finished by endorsing the practice.
“I wish someone was honest about surrogacy and the difference of it,” she said. “But it doesn’t mean it’s bad or good. It’s still great, it’s just very different.”
The candid testimony comes months after Kardashian spoke more reservedly about her surrogacy experience during an interview with Kelly Clarkson, in which the reality TV star described the process as “different” but “amazing.”
In the same interview, which took place in October, she hinted at the difficulty when describing herself as a “control freak” and struggling to trust that the “stranger” carrying her child would take care of the life developing within her.
Kardashian has previously said that her decision to hire a surrogate rather than carry her child on her own was influenced by health concerns and doctors warning she faced a higher-than-normal risk of losing a baby in a miscarriage.
As the Western world continues to belittle the dignity of marriage and procreation by promoting homosexuality and gender ideology, surrogacy has become increasingly popular. The unnatural practice has been hailed as a means for homosexual men to attain parenthood and an alternative for women who either can’t physically carry their own children or simply choose not to go through pregnancy and childbirth.
In March 2022, openly homosexual and conservative political commentator Dave Rubin was met with intense controversy after announcing that he and his “husband” were planning to adopt two children via surrogacy. Rubin received even more backlash for stating that he would request the babies – carried by two different women – be aborted if they were found to have serious disabilities.
Amid the Rubin saga, a former surrogate mother spoke out about the practice, calling it “disreputable” and “evil.” The woman revealed that although she initially viewed surrogacy as an act of charity in bringing life into the world, her opinion changed when she was asked to abort one of the triplets she carried.
It was later discovered that the single man who fathered all three babies – all born alive because the woman refused to kill any of them – was not living in a healthy environment to raise children. However, the father was not required to go through any process to ensure he was able to provide a healthy home for the kids he commissioned and the woman who carried them to term was denied all legal parental rights.
