A surrogate pregnant mother signed a surrogacy contract with a couple. The couple got divorced. Male partner gave sperms and the female partner gave ovums. They do not want to continue the surrogate pregnancy. do they have the right to ask for pregnancy termination if this doesnot impose risk on the pregnant woman? and wat if it poses risk?

i think the mother ( who is carrying the baby ) has the final word , because even though you cant operate on her if she did not consent it , not even if there is risk ,, still my opinion

Either way the as long as the fetus is inside her it will be considered a part of her body and therefore she cant be forced to abort. It has to be her consent. Whether or not she can sue for liable and child support different question and again a hypothetical.

The couple have right to ask about pregnancy termination if it is written as one of the condition of the contract. It is depends on the contract would the mother get any benefits if she would refuse to terminate the pregnancy or how would she be compencated if she will agree to terminate the pregnancy. So it is a lof on the contract but she can refuse and then keep the baby with no support from the couple... she will go to the court and nobody can force her to have an abortion...by the way, it is so easy in the US to find the new couple who would like to adopt her baby.
