Why am I supporting this child?

 

Four years ago, William Marotta responded to an online ad placed by a couple of lesbians. The lesbians wanted his sperm so one of them could conceive. They did a do-it-yourself artificial insemination, and the child is now three years old.

 

The State of Kansas is suing William on behalf of the child's mother who has been on public assistance. I have questions. Why would anyone go to such lengths to have a child she cannot afford? Why would a man not care what happened to his biological child? And the biggest question of all is, why am I and other taxpayers supporting a child who has three "parents"?
