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.
