> The US Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to pause a ruling that recognized a California couple as the legal parents of an infant born to their surrogate. The surrogate had rejected their request to terminate the pregnancy after a severe fetal heart defect was diagnosed and later sought a role in decisions about the boy’s medical care.
