I broke down McKenna’s story in the latest episode of Human Matters, diving into the details of her case and discussing how it exposes serious issues within the surrogacy industry.

John,

McKenna West is 35 weeks pregnant with a baby who isn’t biologically related to her, and she’s being sued for not getting an abortion.

She’s a surrogate mother fighting to protect the life of baby Gabriel, who was diagnosed with a serious heart condition at around 20 weeks old. His biological parents wanted him to be aborted, but McKenna refused to take his life.

Now, she’s fighting to make sure he receives a highly successful, lifesaving heart surgery following birth. However, the purchasing couple isn’t committing to the surgery.

It’s truly a nightmare for McKenna and Gabriel.

I broke down their story in the latest episode of Human Matters, diving into the details of McKenna’s case and discussing how it exposes serious issues within the surrogacy industry.

Last week, Lila Rose and McKenna appeared on The Megyn Kelly Show to discuss the most intense and emotional parts of her story. You can watch their interview here: liveaction.org/videos/surrogate-refused-to-abort-the-baby-now-she-is-being-sued ([link removed] )

Throughout this entire ordeal, McKenna has been extremely brave. Even when threatened with financial ruin for going against the wishes of Gabriel’s intended parents, she has continued to place his life over her own well-being.

McKenna needs our support, John. A fundraiser has been set up to help cover her expenses as she fights to give Gabriel the best possible chance at life.

Within the last week, hundreds of people have stepped up with selfless generosity, and they have gotten her three-quarters of the way to the $40,000 goal.

McKenna and baby Gabriel need all the help they can get, so please continue to help bring attention to this story by sharing these videos and McKenna’s fundraiser.

And finally, please pray for everyone involved in this situation. Pray that God would give strength, peace, and wisdom to McKenna, that He would soften the hearts of baby Gabriel’s biological parents, and that Gabriel would be given the care that he needs so that his life can be spared.

Thank you for standing with us to defend the most vulnerable.

For Life,
