"Inseminated People Given Same Rights As Adopted People" or "Why Wasn't This Law?"

What bothers me is the deliberate sexism of these kinds of legislation and the arguments surrounding it, which most people won't give a second thought about. Why is it only male donors are being targeted? What about the women who donate their eggs (which carry greater compensation, by the way)? Doesn't anyone want to track down their biological mothers? Can't go 'round having those unexpected Oedipus incidents, right?

What if the child is produced from the genetic samples of two donors? Then what? The courts move in to hit these people up for back child support? I wouldn't be surprised if that's the direction they're headed in.
