Regina Granato (1963-) was in her late thirties. Her chances for having a healthy child were rapidly diminishing. Her husband, Kevin Granato, (1961-) was a prisoner in the Allenwood federal prison camp in central Pennsylvania. They outsmarted the prison and the feds. In 2000 Gianna Granato was born. The couple arranged for artificial insemination. It cost Mr. Granato $2000 in bribes of guards, but he smuggled his semen out of the prison. Prison officials were infuriated. They didn't want a baby to be born. That's not the American way of mindless oppression. The feds saw it as a crime. They charged the parents. Mr. Granato paid for his daughter with a sentence of 16 months in prison. Mrs. Granato was given probation. ("Justice" is like that, a double standard.) Prison officials couldn't figure out what to charged the baby with; existing without permission? They are brewing up the "smuggled sperm" crime. The next time this kind of thing happens, the infant can be charged with genetic possession of smuggled sperm. She'll be slapped into a prison for babies. America loves imprisoning its citizens. The American media, never fair, never balanced and never independent of government propaganda, was sensitive enough to label the infant the "Mafia Sperm Baby." Aren't all babies made, at least in part, from sperm?
