Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has intervened to support an Alaskan surrogate who traveled to Texas to get court approval to treat the baby she is carrying for a severe heart defect once a California couple denied the procedure.
Paxton’s office secured an emergency order on Tuesday to support the surrogate McKenna West, who is asking in a family district court in Dallas County to allow the child to remain in Texas and to get treatment. The court order stops anyone from refusing any necessary treatment and from removing the child from Texas while the court considers the case.
His office has also sent a letter to UT Southwestern Medical Center and Children’s Medical Center of Dallas to remind them that they are legally obligated to provide medically necessary care to the child.
“Baby Gabriel deserves a chance at life, and I will not allow anyone to unlawfully deny him medically necessary care,” Paxton said in a news release.
West, a nurse, entered a surrogacy agreement in Alaska, where she lives, with the intended parents, Nausheen Gilkar and Omar Ahmed, through Worldwide Surrogacy Specialists, LLC, a Connecticut-based surrogacy agency. Typically under gestational agreements like the one that West signed with Gilkar and Ahmed, the intended parents, not the surrogate, have the parental rights to make choices relating to the fetus.

Wait, whut? The folks who hired her didn’t think it was her body - and her choice?
She loses a gig; babies lose tbeir lives. Couldn’t they have just late-late-term aborted her?
Looks like “situational ethics.” Lawyers inform the California couple that this pregnancy looks expensive.
‘
Texas law??? As Hitchcock would say, "Perish the thought!"
Reason #428 why surrogacy should be banned.
It’s one of the favorites of con artists because they can get advance payments from multiple hopeful adopters at the same time. I don’t see that in this case but it is messy.
