Texas Surrogacy Abortion Case

Texas Surrogacy Abortion Case

I’m curious what the tangle community thinks of this story in Texas. I’m pretty pro choice but found this to be a bit more complicated, and I’m still not sure how I feel about it. On the one hand, it is her body and she should have control over that. On the other, It does seem like the surrogacy contract she signed required her to abort the pregnancy if the intended parents wanted her too. I don’t think she has a chance at getting custody, but the abortion thing was interesting to me. I ended up landing on: she signed away some of her bodily autonomy when she signed the surrogacy contract and accepted payment to carry someone else’s child.
