Surrogate asks Texas court to let her seek medical care on the baby she’s carrying, AG Paxton says

An Alaskan surrogate has sought legal protection in Texas after a California couple she's carrying a baby for refused to treat their newborn's severe heart condition. The surrogate's request to seek medical care for the baby, Gabriel, has sparked a legal battle with Texas Attorney General Paxton, who opposes the request on abortion-related grounds. This case highlights the complex legal and ethical issues surrounding surrogacy and the rights of surrogates, especially when medical decisions are contested. The outcome could set a significant precedent for future surrogacy cases in the U.S.
