The Tyra Show

From the Tyra show website:

DO YOU KNOW A WOMAN OBSESSED WITH BECOMING PREGNANT?
Do you know a woman who is obsessed with becoming a mom? Have you seen and heard her struggle for years, felt her unvoiced jealously and seen her desperation first hand? Have you watched silently for too long as she gets her hopes up only to be disappointed and heartbroken when she can’t conceive? Has she tried extreme methods and spent a lot of money to get pregnant with no luck? Do you want to finally tell her she needs to stop the emotional and physical stress on her body and seriously consider adoption or a surrogate alternative? If you know a woman who is obsessed with becoming a mom and getting pregnant, then SUBMIT BELOW. Please do not submit unless you are willing to appear on “The Tyra Banks Show".

The thought of this show disgusts me. It’s one thing to do a show on infertility and the struggles associated with it. But to make these women feel bad for wanting a baby? I just think it’s really low. Maybe the show will have a different tone, but the wording of this is just awful.
