I do believe it was about being a surrogate. Asking that of a woman, and retaliating when

I did not hear about retaliation, either. Just conversation about the subject. Nt

she says no, is absolutely diabolical, regardless of whether or not sex is involved.

(25,611 posts)13. Yeah, I still don't buy the surrogacy
Wouldn't you prefer a stranger? Why a co-worker? It doesn't make sense.
I think he just wanted the intercourse part....

(10,500 posts)14. It isn't so easy to get random people to carry babies for you, let alone
give you and your wife their own biological child to adopt, which seems to be what Franks had in mind.
I absolutely do believe that he wanted the baby for him and his wife. There is a big problem in this country with people feeling like they have the right to treat a woman like a breeding mule whose job is to produce infants for "worthy" and "deserving" couples.
