The magazine HELLO! published yesterday what can be considered the cover of the month and even of the year. The news has turned the world of the heart in Spain upside down, as the actress and presenter Ana García Obregón announced that she has gone through a surrogacy process in the United States to become a mother again at 68 years of age.
The outlet obtained some incredible photos of García Obregón and the little girl leaving the hospital facilities in a wheelchair. Despite the fact that Ana had not given birth or was weak, the actress had to leave this way to carry out the protocol of the medical center.
The news has aroused controversy, since not everyone sees Ana as capable of being a mother at such an advanced age and many are concerned about her state of mental and emotional health due to the hard loss she suffered in 2020, when her son Aless Lequio He died of cancer after a long fight.
Another of the vertices of the controversy resides in the practice of surrogacy, a method to be a ‘mother’ that not everyone sees as moral and ethical, since the health of the pregnant person is put at risk and there is a monetary exchange that puts a price on the life of the baby.
Before the news, dozens of celebrities have wanted to position themselves, both for better and for worse. Although most of Sálvame’s collaborators were happy for Ana Obregón, other public figures such as the athlete Ana Peleteiro took a step forward and were against it: “She hasn’t just been a mother, NO! She just bought a baby thanks to her economic status. Baby trafficking is prohibited in Spain, which is why this woman had to go to the US to be able to carry out this illegality.” Peleteiro defends that the pregnant woman is the mother of the baby and not the person who ‘buys’ it.
In addition, the Galician has sent a message to those who question her: “Don’t tell me I don’t know what I’m talking about because I know what I’m talking about very well”, referring to the fact that she was abandoned and given up for adoption with two days ”My case was an act of love, but separating a baby from a mother for money taking advantage of a woman who is possibly in a much more disadvantaged situation than that mother who is buying a baby is a crime and it is a aberration. Yes, I am against surrogate pregnancy and it is fucking shit. Buying human beings is not right, using women as if they were ovens is not right,” he has sentenced.
