Does David Crosby Know About This?: Sperm Donor to Lesbians Must Pay Child Support

By Debbie Schlussel
In one of the most bizarre cases yet, a Pennsylvania Appeals Court ordered a sperm donor to lesbians to pay child support. Oh, and by the way, the sperm donor is dead, so it's his estate that must pay.
Apparently, the State of Pennsylvania does not have sperm donor shield laws, which protect donors from donating. On the one hand, it seems a bit unfair. But on the other hand, perhaps it will discourage the whole system of sperm donations to single mothers, lesbians, and other "arrangements" that endanger the traditional family in America. There are too many kids born without fathers in America, and it's a terrible influence on society--engendering crime, substance abuse, and rampant, premature sexuality.
Another issue: The court has held three adults liable as parents to a single child. Could this be the pre-amble to legalized polygamy and other bizarre "family" configurations? You bet.
