What was said
"According to the lawsuit, which was filed in Ontario Superior Court in May and obtained by the National Post, the parents claimed the surrogate did not adequately keep them informed about the baby's health, put the child at risk, violated confidentiality, and caused them emotional distress."
A Canadian same-sex couple is suing their surrogate mother for refusing to abort their now 2-year-old son after a 22-week ultrasound revealed a cleft lip and minor heart defect. The surrogate said she would only abort if the child was unlikely to survive, but not a viable 22-week fetus with minor defects. Shapiro characterized the lawsuit as exemplifying a utilitarian culture that treats children as disposable conveniences rather than beings with inherent soul and value.
