Sperm donor must pay child support


iconWhen women start bitching about the lack of available sperm donors, here's why.

The three-judge panel ruled Thursday that the deal between Joel McKiernan and Ivonne Ferguson -- in which McKiernan donated his sperm and would not be obligated to pay any support -- was unenforceable because of "legal, equitable and moral principles."

Despite an agreement that appeared to be a binding contract, the father is obligated to provide financial support, the court decided.

"It is the interest of the children we hold most dear,"' wrote Senior Judge Patrick Tamalia.

When you put it that way, how could you possibly argue that not getting $1500 a month in child support is in the interest of the children? Hell, with that logic you could argue that grocery stores should be forced to give away "free" baby food. After all, it's for the children.
