The surrogate who refused to abort the baby she was carrying despite the biological parent’s wishes was shut down by the US Supreme Court on Tuesday after she filed a desperate plea to the nation’s highest court to intervene in the heated multi-state custody battle.   Supreme Court Justice Elana Kagan denied Alaskan surrogate McKenna West’s last-ditch bid to retain control over the baby’s care without detailing the legal reasoning — as is typical in emergency appeals.   West, 28, filed the request earlier this month amid the contentious, multi-state custody courtroom battle with Los Angeles couple Nasheen Gilkar and Omar Ahmed.
