What if your reproduction plans are derailed?

Very interesting.

I wonder if there is a contract for surrogate arraignments and if so, surely this must be addressed?

Absent a contract, I'd guess that the parents give up their parental rights by demanding an abortion. The surrogate can't be compelled to do anything with her body against her wishes, so she can give birth to the baby. The only real question is who does the baby belong to? The surrogate never had a claim on the baby, and the parents gave up their rights. So I'd imagine the baby becomes a ward of the state and would be put up for adoption.
