6. The Couple Was Shocked
The couple was shocked that Torres refused to abort; they selected her because they thought she had the same values. They declined to sue her because no court will order a woman to have an abortion, even if she agreed to selectively reduce as part of the contract. This means that surrogacy can feel like the Wild West. One the one hand, people agree to contractual terms. On the other, you can’t legislate how people will feel.
