Ask Hank – Pre-Natal Lawsuit Threatened by Unborn Child

Ask Hank – Pre-Natal Lawsuit Threatened by Unborn Child

Dear Hank,

I’m seven months old (that’s from conception) and due in late January.
Recently, I heard my parents talking about what they were going to name me:

notebook in here with natural materials (the motherboard was easy) and tapped
into their signal.

I made contact with a little girl down the street who’s due about the same time
I am and whose mother is a lawyer. The little girl advises me that I have
rights concerning my naming and I should exercise them before it’s too late. Continue Reading
