@liveactionorg: McKenna West thought being a surrogate would be a good way to make income for her family as a single mother, as well as do something rewarding. After she was accepted as a surrogate and matched with a couple, she became pregnant through IVF, and all was going smoothly until her 20-week anatomy ultrasound. The baby boy was diagnosed with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), and the couple who hired her decided they wanted her to abort the baby. After she refused to abort, they filed a lawsuit against her. Despite the fact that specialists have stated that the baby boy has a good chance at survival with the necessary surgeries, the couple has given no indication that they will allow those surgeries. West is now 35 weeks pregnant and has filed for custody. She hopes that either she is granted custody of the baby or that the couple chooses to accept the surgeries the baby needs instead of letting him die after he is born. She says her goal is to "get him surgery." If the couple commits to the surgeries, she will not fight for custody. The baby's fate — and West's rights — may now be in the hands of a California court.

This is why IVF and surrogacy should also be abolished

As a pro-life nurse, this is so refreshing and encouraging to see. God bless her.

She should have not agreed to be a surrogate. There are certain things people should not get involved with if they’re not willing to fulfill the parents wishes. The heart defect is untreatable and babies usually die within a year.

People saying that Hypoplastic left heart syndrome is treatable…. Yes it is with a heart transplant the baby could eventually reject. I personally know someone who had a baby with that condition, they went through A LOT, not only the poor baby but the parents as well. There were multiple surgeries, multiple hospitalizations and the baby eventually started to reject the newheart and passed at 19 months. She should just adopt the baby and do it on her own. Its sad all around

You can’t have any emotions when your a surrogate.

Seriously why sign a contract that included abortion if you can’t go through with it. If there is even the slightest, maybe not, you shouldn’t do it. It’s sad but these situations exists due to money.

No one is asking this — She signed the surrogacy contract stating she would abort in the case of fetal abnormalities. Now if the fetus had a terminal condition, would she have aborted ?? Would we even be here speaking of her ?? The end of the conversation, she agreed on abortion for abnormalities. And she agreed on this to get paid.

Mind you she signed the contract which stipulated that she agreed to terminating the pregnancy if there were any congenital birth defects

I have 5 children, one of whom died from HLHS and I 1000000000 percent disagree with this surrogate! She gives me toxic vibes, and her actions were wrong.

The poor child will have to suffer through this the rest of his life. Does no one think about that?

I empathize with her, but don’t people think about these things beforehand? This is always a possibility. If you aren’t willing or open to honoring the parents’ wishes, then it’s best not to put yourself in that position in the first place.

Her standing her ground is amazing! Because that baby is beautiful and perfect just as he is meant to be. He was made in the imagine of God and he doesn’t make mistakes!! I’m so glad she didn’t get that abortion. As a woman who wants to do surrogacy myself, no matter the circumstances I will never in my entire life abort that baby.

If I ever was a surrogate it would be a no abortion included

This is really sad. It sucks that Prolifers have already decided your bodily autonomy doesn’t matter. But the reality is that no one should be able to force their will on a woman’s body

I don’t get it. Like if she doesn’t want an abortion that’s fine but she’s responsible for all costs, and repaying the surrogacy pay 🤷🏻♀️the biological parents should sign off all responsibility and move on. McKenna can pay for the surgeries, travel, and raising the child. If she wants to keep the child let her but yes you owe the money from the job you broke the contract of.
