Default Mom claims daughter got pregnant from sperm floating in pool

Quote:
A woman is suing an Egyptian hotel claiming her daughter got pregnant - from using the swimming pool.

A Swedish doctor that made a comment in a newspaper said that there is a very simple explanation, not involving swimming pools, to how she became pregnant.

You just keep telling yourself that, ma'am, if it makes you happy. But do us all a favor and make sure that in the future, your daughter uses some sort of protection while she's [cough] swimming.

Why would anyone file a suit against a hotel when they have a perfect opportunity to claim immaculate conception?

Why would she claim that her child was conceived free of original sin?
