这位拒绝了生物学父母堕胎要求的代孕母亲在本周向美国最高法院提交紧急申请后，又提交了一份补充诉状，称案件进展比预期更快。
阿拉斯加居民麦肯纳·韦斯特与一对被称为委托方的加州夫妇陷入法律纠纷。此前，在医生诊断出胎儿患有严重心脏病——左心发育不良综合征（HLHS）后，这对夫妇要求韦斯特终止妊娠，但遭到她的拒绝。
由联盟辩护自由组织和First & Fourteenth PLLC的律师代理，韦斯特向负责第九巡回法院紧急事务的大法官埃琳娜·卡根提出申请，请求下达行政禁令以及在可能提交调卷令申请期间暂停诉讼程序。
代孕母亲与加州夫妇对簿公堂，新生儿接受心脏手术后仍在与死神搏斗
代孕母亲麦肯纳·韦斯特在婴儿的亲生父母要求她堕胎后逃往得州。
她的诉状辩称，加州法院将她的管辖权抗辩视为同意，这违反了联邦正当程序。她还指出，如果不暂停诉讼程序，婴儿可能会被转移到加州接受临终关怀，而韦斯特届时仍无法参与孩子的医疗决策。
但在周一，这位代孕母亲和她的团队担忧婴儿可能比预期更早被移出得州。
她请求最高法院在周二美国东部时间下午1点前下达行政禁令。
代孕母亲在得州产下患有心脏缺陷的婴儿，此前父母曾要求堕胎
周一，这位代孕母亲和她的团队担忧婴儿可能比预期更早被移出得州。
此前，加州法院作出判决，认定委托方为孩子的合法父母，并驳回了韦斯特的抚养权主张。
委托方在法庭上辩称，根据代孕协议，加州拥有管辖权，他们才是孩子的合法父母。
韦斯特拒绝了委托方的堕胎要求，并前往有堕胎限制的得州产下孩子，称此举是为了确保能获得专业医疗护理。
她曾在阿拉斯加和得州提起亲子关系诉讼并申请保护令，但据福克斯4台报道，委托方在洛杉矶高等法院提起了亲子关系诉讼。韦斯特以需在阿拉斯加提起诉讼的法院选择条款为由，进行了特殊出庭抗辩，对法院管辖权提出异议。
这位代孕母亲请求最高法院在周二美国东部时间下午1点前下达行政禁令。
但据该媒体报道，加州初审法院裁定，韦斯特的管辖权抗辩及附带证据构成了一般性出庭，意味着她已同意法院的管辖权。随后，法院作出单方面的亲子关系判决，支持委托方。
8月12日婴儿在得州出生后，得州法院认可了加州的判决，认定委托夫妇为孩子的合法父母，并驳回了韦斯特的诉讼且禁止其再次提起相同诉求。

Surrogate who refused abortion asks SCOTUS to intervene as baby could be moved out of Texas

McKenna West seeks an administrative stay by Tuesday, fearing the baby could be moved from Texas

Former federal prosecutor Andrew Cherkasky discusses a surrogate’s legal battle with the biological parents over a baby with a rare heart condition on ‘Fox Report.’

The surrogate who refused an abortion sought by the biological parents has filed an updated brief with the U.S. Supreme Court following an emergency application she filed with the court last week, arguing the case is moving more quickly than expected.
McKenna West, an Alaska resident, and a California couple referred to as the commissioning parties, have been involved in a legal battle after she refused their request to terminate the pregnancy after a diagnosis of a serious heart condition, Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS).
Represented by attorneys from Alliance Defending Freedom and First & Fourteenth PLLC, West asked Justice Elena Kagan, who handles emergency matters from the Ninth Circuit, for an administrative stay and a stay pending a possible petition for certiorari.

Her application argues that the California courts violated federal due process by treating her jurisdictional defense as consent. It also argues that without a stay, the baby could be moved to California for hospice care while West remains unable to participate in decisions about the child’s medical treatment.
But on Monday, the surrogate and her team expressed fears that the baby may be moved out of Texas earlier than she had expected.
She is asking the high court for an administrative stay 1 p.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday.

This comes after a California court judgment that declared the commissioning parents the child’s legal parents and denied West’s custody claims.
The commissioning parents have argued in court that California has jurisdiction under the surrogacy agreement and that they are the child’s legal parents.
West had refused the commissioning parents’ request for an abortion and traveled to Texas, which has abortion restrictions, to give birth, saying she did so to ensure access to specialized medical care.
She asked for parentage and protective orders in Alaska and Texas, but the commissioning parents filed a parentage action in the Los Angeles Superior Court, according to Fox 4. West entered a special appearance to contest personal jurisdiction and object to the forum, citing a forum-selection clause that required litigation to be held in Alaska.

But the California trial court ruled that West’s jurisdictional arguments and attached exhibits constituted a general appearance, meaning she had consented to the court’s jurisdiction, the outlet reported. The court then entered an ex parte judgment of parentage in favor of the commissioning parents.
After the baby was born in Texas on Aug. 12, a Texas court recognized the California ruling naming the commissioning couple as his legal parents and dismissed West from the case with prejudice, meaning she could not refile the same claim in that proceeding.
