Surrogate Case Draws Fire From Those Sick at Heart, Sick of Suits
No, Anna, not everyone is in your corner. We watched you try your case on television and in the newspaper. We listened to your claims that the fertilized egg might not have actually been the Calverts, but your own. We read of your harassment of the Calverts to pay early, perhaps in light of your breach with the Welfare Department. We listened to your claim of American Indian blood and waited for the tribal council to claim Christopher as their property.
I personally was waiting for you to claim that you were of Jewish ancestry and that the baby belonged on a kibbutz in Israel.
Now, through your attorney, we hear that the conception of Christopher Calvert is like that of Jesus.
No, Anna, you merely sold the use of your womb for $10,000 and have made the Calverts pay a much higher price for their dream of a family.
