The baby, born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, has already undergone surgery but needs ongoing care — care the surrogate believes the intended parents, who requested an abortion at 23 weeks, won’t provide. With surrogacy laws unregulated federally and deeply divided public opinion, this high-stakes battle pits medical necessity against contractual obligations and ethical debates over abortion and parental rights — all while the infant’s survival hangs in the balance.
