Its the "hey, we want this child" factor. I mean, they obviously WANT the child because they cant have one on their own.

...You could go even further and say that "accidents" are impossible

But hey, I honestly had no plan to call bullshit in this gay rights argument.

It seems as though as the donation wasn't made through a donation clinic, rather as a friend through unofficial means. He isn't protected through the law as it stands. The only assurance he was given was a promise, and that it's been revoked. Ugh.

I don't know why I put this here.
Wait a minute... I have an absolutely evil idea.

If he's considered responsible enough for the child to pay child support, why doesn't he try to get custody of the child for his own family? I mean, if you're gonna stamp them with that, then they can just turn around and claim they'd rather help raise the child directly than pay child support. What're they gonna say? "No! You can only pay money! This child we believe you responsible for can NEVER be taken care of by you!"

It'd be nuts, but it'd serve the suer just right. "Want child support? I'll just be taking that kid away, then."

Plus, the man already stands to lose lots of money. May as well spend it on court dollars, making the idiot suing him feel what it's like to be on the other end of an absurd claim.

The table summary attribute should be used to describe
the table structure. It is very helpful for people using
non-visual browsers. The scope and headers attributes for
table cells are useful for specifying which headers apply
to each table cell, enabling non-visual browsers to provide
a meaningful context for each cell.

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible
see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
. You may also want to try
"http://www.cast.org/bobby/" which is a free Web-based
service for checking URLs for accessibility.

You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
