美国最高法院周二拒绝介入一起代孕母亲案件,该母亲拒绝堕胎,目前正争取孩子的监护权。

麦肯纳·韦斯特今年8月在得州产下一名男婴,她为其取名加布里埃尔。此前,孩子的父母因胎儿心脏缺陷要求她堕胎,她便从加州逃到了得州。韦斯特在得州法院辩称,尽管有代孕协议,她仍应获得孩子的监护权,但得州一名法官驳回了她的诉求。

韦斯特随后向最高法院提起上诉,但负责处理加州相关案件的埃琳娜·卡根大法官周二拒绝受理此案,未出具书面裁决。

代孕协议的委托父母奥马尔·艾哈迈德和瑙沙恩·吉尔卡于2025年8月与韦斯特签订了协议。他们援引协议中的一项条款,称若出现“胎儿异常”,可终止妊娠。

这名他们原本取名为鲁米的婴儿被诊断出患有左心发育不全综合征,这种疾病会导致心脏部分发育不全,无法正常供血。孩子在得州接受了手术,目前正面临与手术相关的“潜在并发症”。

艾哈迈德和吉尔卡在首次发现胎儿缺陷时,曾试图强迫韦斯特堕胎,但韦斯特拒绝了,并逃往得州,在那里她得到了得州总检察长肯·帕克斯顿的支持。

帕克斯顿签署命令,要求该婴儿必须在得州接受救命治疗。此案随后被提交至得州最高法院,该院上周裁定,可以将孩子迁往加州,委托父母已在当地安排好医疗护理计划。

The U.S. Supreme Court declined Tuesday to intervene in the case of a surrogate mother who refused to have an abortion and is now seeking custody of the child.

McKenna West gave birth to the boy, whom she named Gabriel, in Texas in August after she fled from California when the parents asked her to abort the child over a heart defect. She argued in Texas court that she should maintain custody over the child despite the surrogacy agreement, but a judge in Texas ruled against her.

West then appealed to the Supreme Court, but Justice Elena Kagan, who handles cases arising from California, declined to hear the case on Tuesday without issuing a written decision.

The intended parents, Omar Ahmed and Nausheen Gilkar, signed a surrogacy agreement with West in August 2025. They point to a clause in the agreement that allowed for a termination of pregnancy in the case of a “fetal abnormality.”

The child, whom they had named Rumi, was diagnosed with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, which causes part of the heart to be underdeveloped and prevent normal blood flow. The child underwent surgery in Texas and is now “suffering from potential complications” related to the operation.

Ahmed and Gilkar attempted to force West to have an abortion when the defect was initially detected, but West refused and fled to Texas, where she received support from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

Paxton signed an order stating that the child must receive lifesaving care in Texas. The case went up to the Texas Supreme Court, which ruled last week that the child could be moved to California, where the intended parents have lined up plans for medical care.
