A custody dispute is unfolding over a 4-week-old child with a serious heart defect. The child's surrogate is seeking intervention from the US Supreme Court. She believes the intended parents will not provide necessary care for the child, citing their earlier request for an abortion.
The surrogate wants final custody or conservatorship of the child. The case has garnered support from certain groups and officeholders. Further details about the dispute and the appeal are available.
The surrogate's emergency appeal was filed amid a broader legal battle related to surrogacy and abortion.
