Surrogate fights for custody in Supreme Court appeal over heart-defect baby
TL;DR Summary
A surrogate who refused an abortion after a 20-week scan revealed a severe heart defect has asked the US Supreme Court to intervene in who should have custody of the baby. California couple Omar Ahmed and Nausheen Gilkar had been granted parental rights, but the surrogate, McKenna West, argues they may not provide necessary medical care and has sought to halt that ruling while the child, born in Texas with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, undergoes treatment.
