The following quote may be attributed to Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel and Director of the Center for Life Erik Baptist regarding a Texas court order requiring that a baby born Wednesday with a serious, but treatable, heart condition receives the surgery necessary to save his life. In the case, Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys represent McKenna West, an Alaska nurse and surrogate mother, who fought to give the baby she carried, known as Baby Gabriel, the chance at the life he deserves since the commissioning couple has refused to commit to life-saving treatment:
“It’s an honor and privilege to represent McKenna in her courageous stand for Baby Gabriel’s life. Every life matters. No woman should be forced to kill the baby she is carrying, and every child deserves a chance at life. We are thrilled that the court’s order calls for Baby Gabriel to receive the surgery necessary to save his life. And we are so grateful for Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s heroic, invaluable efforts to preserve this precious child’s life.”
