A surrogate who refused to end a pregnancy after doctors discovered the baby had a serious heart condition has now taken her legal fight to the US Supreme Court. But the baby’s intended parents are pushing back hard, accusing her of making false claims about them and their son’s medical care.
McKenna West, an Alaska nurse, carried the baby for California couple Nausheen Gilkar and Omar Ahmed.
After the baby was diagnosed with a rare heart defect, the couple asked West to terminate the pregnancy.
