If you mean that if a woman goes to a "sperm bank" and makes a "withdrawal," yes, the baby is hers. Those "deposits " are usually anonymous, so there is no way of knowing who the father is. If that man wants rights, then he needs not leave random sperm samples around town.
Now, if you mean the case of a woman being a surrogate parent, no, she has no right to claim that child as her own. However, that is a whole different scenerio. These women usually act as a "host womb" for parents that cannot carry a child. It is strictly voluntary. They are usually paid for their services.
