Sustituta niega motivaciones políticas en disputa de custodia

La madre sustituta McKenna West, enfermera cardíaca que dio a luz en Dallas, Texas, a un bebé con síndrome del corazón izquierdo hipoplásico, negó que la disputa de custodia interestatal tuviera motivaciones políticas, afirmando que su prioridad es el cuidado del niño. El 12 de agosto un tribunal del condado de Dallas ordenó que el recién nacido recibiera tratamiento vital, anulando la solicitud de los futuros padres de abortar, y designó a un tutor ad litem para supervisar las decisiones médicas. Posteriormente, el tribunal otorgó la custodia del niño a los padres biológicos, limitando el contacto de la sustituta.

Los padres biológicos presentaron una contrademanda por más de 100 000 dólares, alegando que West incumplió el contrato al negarse a interrumpir el embarazo. El bebé se sometió a la cirugía necesaria mientras los tribunales de Alaska, California y Texas siguen discutiendo los derechos parentales.
