Pa. Sperm Donor Wins Child Support Case

State Supreme Court Rules Man Does Not Have To Support Twin Boys

HARRISBURG, Pa., Jan. 3, 2008

(CBS/AP) The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that a woman who promised a sperm donor he would not have to pay child support cannot renege on the deal.

The 3-2 decision overturns lower court rulings under which Joel L. McKiernan had been paying up to $1,500 a month to support twin boys born in August 1994 to Ivonne V. Ferguson, his former girlfriend and co-worker.

"Where a would-be donor cannot trust that he is safe from a future support action, he will be considerably less likely to provide his sperm to a friend or acquaintance who asks, significantly limiting a would-be mother's reproductive prerogatives," Justice Max Baer wrote in the majority opinion issued last week.

Arthur Caplan, chairman of the Department of Medical Ethics at the University of Pennsylvania, said the decision runs counter to the pattern established by similar cases, where the interests of the progeny have generally been given great weight...


Give it a once over will ya?

While I am glad to see that justice has been done in this case, as child support without a finding of fault against a valid marriage contract is immoral [a][b][c] and unconstituional on its face, Men still need to remain extremely cautious.

Simply put, no Man should give away his lifegiving sperm under any circumstances whatsoever. Today's modern woman has no idea what the word honor means, and will be the first one to take his silly ass on down to court and attempt to reduce him to a Child Support slave.

One court decision doesn't make everything alright. It will take many more decisions similar to this one before we can even begin to speculate that the Rights of Men have been restored.

However, I'll take a Win anyway that we can get it! Hopefully the courts will actually do more of what they are supposed to do, that is, secure our rights from the tyranny of the feminist majority.

At least they are honest to give the real reason in the text.

Besides where is justice for humanity?Where is the justice for the single mothers or lesbian couple's CHILD?

"Men" who donate sperm need to be prosecuted for stupidity and crimes against humanity.

BUt I understand what your saying. However I think the motives behind the decisions are at least as important. In germany I heard they changed the law that an adultress doesN't get paid alimony(if no children). The reason behind this is only to trap more men into marriage as numbers are drying up. Do I care? No. But I can see how you care(being married). Way to go bro+ good luck!

AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN.

Even if being sued for CS is not an issue, donating sperm does nothing but increase fatherless homes, leading to young daughters who get pregnant and become single momes, leading to MORE fatherless homes- and young men who commit crimes, or get a girl pregnant leading to MORE fatherless and single mother homes.

Agreed on all points.

No man in his right mind should donate sperm!

Wow, it's simply ridiculous that this even had to go to the SC...

Listen ladies - you made a legally-binding contract - you stick with it. I don't get where the room for argument here is???

Of course, women are always trying to play the "Fay Wray" card and weasel out of personal responsibility/accountability.
