Pennsylvania Court Orders Sperm Donor to Lesbian Couple to Pay Child Support

Damn...go donate at a sperm bank, then years later you get summoned into court to pay child support. That's just wrong, especially to pay child support for a lesbian couple when their relationship falls apart.
This is why, if gay couples desire to marry or get their "civil-union license," They should also be obligated under law the same responsibiilties as a married couple. Such as, becoming seperated or divorced and liable for child support.

Jodilynn Jacob, 33, and Jennifer Lee Shultz-Jacob, 48, moved in together as a couple in 1996, and were granted a civil-union license in Vermont in 2002. In addition to conceiving the two children with the help of Frampton — a longtime friend of Shultz-Jacob's — Jacob also adopted her brother's two older children, now 12 and 13
But the women's relationship fell apart, and Jacob and the children moved out of their Dillsburg, Pennsylvania, home in February 2006.
Shortly afterward, a court awarded her about $1,000 a month in support from Shultz-Jacob. Shultz-Jacob later lost an effort to have the court force Frampton to contribute support
The state Supreme Court is currently considering a similar case, in which a sperm donor wants to enforce a promise made by the mother that he would not have to be involved in the child's life. That biological father was ordered to pay $1,520 in monthly support.
About two-thirds of states have adopted versions of the Uniform Parentage Act that can shield sperm donors from being forced to assume parenting responsibilities. Pennsylvania has no such law.
