I don't even know how to respond to this. This is odd and wrong on so many levels.

I like how your sub box is full of science and political videos but your recommendations are full of anime girls kissing each other.

So ban sperm donation now? Is this the next step?

To be fair... These women aren't making a very good case for same-sex couples.


Why not? The couple has broken up, with the mother applying for financial aid to help raise a child. Because kansas does not recognise same sex relationships as legitimate, they've gone to the donor.

This has nothing to do with the couple, more so the state itself.
My mistake... I understood that the women were going after the donor directly.

That's not right. He just donated sperm, if somebody donates to a sperm bank they don't have any responsibility for the child, so why should he?
But through a sperm bank, the donors are [usually] anonymous.

Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.

This is by no means the worst I've heard.

When Mrs Charlie was in law school, I often helped her study while she outlined fact patterns of cases. One of them was:

A man had a one night stand with a woman. He used a condom, and it did not break. After he went to sleep, she got a turkey baster, removed his semen from the used condom and impregnated herself with it.

Fast forward a couple of years, she applied for state aid, and had to list the father of her child. Being not bright, she put his name down. The state sued him for back child support due.

The state won.

How do they even know that he has money to give? He might have other kids to take care of. People will make up anything just to get money. This is bullcrap.

  • 12.31.2012 9:29 AM PDT

Do you really want to know?

Utter idiocy. He was a donor, so why would he have to pay up for child support?

Some things just don't make sense :l

Stop blaming the women. This has nothing to do with them. As the mother is now single, she has gone for financial aid to help raise the child. Because kansas doesn't see non-hetero relationships as legitimate, they went to the donor for child support.

This is kansas screwing up, not the women.

That's a (no pun meant) dick move. She impregnated herself with his leftovers, and then had the state sue him because she could not afford a child.

What a jack-wagon.

Things like this need to be done in a very professional way because as an adult you're liable for anything nowadays. The fact that he donated for the couple was one thing, however he should have written up an agreement.

It's kind of a middle to me. If they didn't write up an agreement / contract, honestly, he should take responsibility for his actions. He may have done it the "Old fashioned" way aswell. Which, honestly, I think under law he could get jail time, but I'm not lawyer.

Also, if they did sign something, I think he should be relinquished because it was already stipulated that he would not take responsibility for the child.

THE STATE SUED HIM.

The same thing is happening in Recon's story.

The state is trying to recoup its costs for providing for the child.

Don't the women have to tell the state about their situation and that they need money?

Slightly different, with slightly different issues. In your story, yes it really sucks for the man, but there were no other options to go to for aid. In this scenario, there is another person to go to who actually raised the child, but the issue is that kansas doesn't recognize their relationship as legitimate, which you could say is an issue of itself.

If the state recognized same-sex couples, wouldn't it be able to go after the mother's partner for child though, rather than the donor?

People break up, that's a fact of life. I wouldn't exactly say it's a hetero-exclusive practice.

He had an agreement. They had a written contract.

Kansas considers it null and void since the couple did not work through a sperm bank.

They applied for medicare for the kid. This is pretty common. The state law said they had to list the father on the birth certificate, since Kansas doesn't recognize civil unions.

This is.....just freaking sad....

Time for people to man up (*snort*) and deal with it. People are always looking for easy ways to make money, and frivolous lawsuits like this are just pathetic. I seriously hope the judge looks at this situation and throws the book at the woman. I really do.

A physical book.

This is dumb .

For the 10th time, it's the state going after the man. Not the women.
