A same-sex couple in Canada is suing a surrogate mother for $600,000, alleging she breached their contract by refusing to abort the fetus after prenatal testing revealed a cleft lip and palate. The surrogate, whose identity has not been disclosed, reportedly cited personal or religious objections to abortion. The case, first reported by The Zioneer, highlights the legal and ethical complexities of surrogacy agreements, particularly around reproductive autonomy and disability. No court ruling has been issued yet, and the surrogate has not publicly responded to the lawsuit.
