The Trump administration has waded into a surrogate‘s battle to save a baby with a heart defect who she refused to abort despite the biological parents’ wishes.
The Department of Health and Human Services’ Office for Civil Rights warned hospitals in Texas that the baby delivered by McKenna West must receive life-saving medical care, the New York Post reports.
West gave birth to the child she has called Baby Gabriel in Dallas on Wednesday in violation of a request by his biological parents, Nausheen Gilkar, 43, and Omar Ahmed, 45.
The couple had asked West to abort the baby after they learned he had hypoplastic left heart syndrome, a treatable heart condition.
