A surrogate mother seeking to get life-saving healthcare for the unborn baby she is carrying won a key court victory late Tuesday, in a high-profile legal battle that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has joined.

McKenna West, an Alaska resident and surrogate mother, traveled to Texas to prepare to get treatment for the unborn baby’s heart defect upon his birth, even though a California couple, Nausheen Gilkar and Omar Ahmed, who are the intended parents of the unborn child, allegedly asked West to abort the baby. Gilkar and Ahmed tried to have West deliver the baby in the Golden State, but refused to agree to allow the baby to receive life-saving treatment for his heart condition after birth.
