The Texas Supreme Court has ruled that a medically fragile, month-old infant born via surrogate can be relocated from Texas to Los Angeles for medical treatment. The decision marks the latest development in an ongoing legal battle between the intended parents and the surrogate, McKenna West, who had previously given birth to the child and rejected the couple's request for an abortion.

The ruling clears the way for the infant to leave the state to receive specialized care in California. The legal conflict centers on the circumstances surrounding the pregnancy, the surrogate's refusal of the abortion request, and subsequent custody and care disputes between the parties involved.
