Threatening to name women who have had an abortion in a public lawsuit is shitty. They deserve their privacy. Plus, I've had girlfriends who have had abortions in their early twenties who were desperate to have children a decade later. They went to heroic measures to have children. Just because someone had an abortion (or their partner had an abortion) doesn't prove their current views on having children. I would rail against that argument if it was applied to a woman.
Of course, what he is doing is terrible. Using the fetuses as plaintiffs in the lawsuit is horrible. He's trying to get support of the pro-life crowed and use that against Vergara. (Probably why he filed in Louisiana, too.) But she's resorted to dirty tactics while fighting him, too. I'm sure it's all on the advice of their lawyers and their lawyers' agendas. But it's making them look horrible.

They already set up a trust fund for two frozen embryos? Is that even possible? Is there already money in that trust fund? Who paid for it? Did they also sign a custody agreement? Enroll the embryos in kindergarten and a private school? I have so many questions.... I mean the embryos already have names, makes sense they already planned their whole future.
What a disgusting mess/lawsuit.

Here's another question: Why is he insisting on keeping these embryos and bringing them to fruition (so to speak)? Why not start over with another surrogate? Threatening to name women who have had an abortion in a public lawsuit is shitty. They deserve their privacy. Plus, I've had girlfriends who have had abortions in their early twenties who were desperate to have children a decade later. They went to heroic measures to have children. Just because someone had an abortion (or their partner had an abortion) doesn't prove their current views on having children. I would rail against that argument if it was applied to a woman. I don't think the argument that Sofia's side was making was making any judgment toward the other women. It was all about Nick Loeb's frame of mind. If he is so adamant about forcing these embryos with Sofia to be born because he is entitled to a say as the biological father, why didn't he do the same to the other women whom he had impregnated and then had had abortions? It's not as if the issue about men's rights to prevent an abortion hasn't come up before.Also this...? ( from the article): If he wants the embryos to develop into babies so badly, why doesn't he pay the fees?

My first thought was tacky. And it is my last thought too.

My first thought was tacky. And it is my last thought too. I thought her speech was tacky too. Maybe if she was giving out one of the awards, I would have found it funny, but I thought it took away from Sylvester Stallone's daughters' moment. Yes, I know that no one probably remembers who was Miss/Mr. Golden Globe, but I'm sure they were excited and didn't want their moment marred by an off color joke.

Oh, Sofia, never change. She is the Suzanne Sugarbaker definition of "too much".

The problem I have with her is, she's too old to be "cute" anymore (and I have that same issue with Sarah Jessica Parker).
