That's screwed up, but I still think this is a gender issue and yes, a civil rights issue. That's fair. Family courts are often biased against men. Actually, so are criminal courts. Hmmm... But yeah. Alimony always goes to the gal, regardless of pay. It's super hard for the guy to get custody of his kid if the mom wants it. He has no say on the abortion thing(as he shouldn't) and this isn't the first case I have heard of where the state tried to make the sperm donor pay child support.

I can't remember if the others were successful but the idea that the father is better suited to parent than the lesbian mother is based off of outdated ideals on how a man should be and what a family was. He's second to the mother in most family courts, but still above the lesbian other mother. I get what you're saying... This state court is completely out of line.
