The following comes from an August 14 story in the Sacramento Bee.
An effort to grant parenting rights to some sperm donors is likely done for the year, after proponents – including Lost Boys actor Jason Patric – failed to persuade an Assembly committee to move ahead with the bill.
The Assembly Judiciary Committee voted Tuesday to hold Senate Bill 115, asking the dueling sides to try to work out a compromise after the legislative session ends next month and bring the bill back next year.
But the bill’s author, Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, vowed to continue his fight to allow sperm donors, in specific situations, to petition the courts to become parents. He said he’ll keep trying to move his bill during the final weeks of the legislative session despite the committee’s unfavorable vote.
“If we can come up with an agreement that will work, we are certainly going to try to bring it forward,” Hill said. “In this building there is never a deadline. Everything can happen if you have an agreement.”
Hill introduced the bill in March after a court denied Patric custody of 3-year-old Gus in his dispute with ex-girlfriend Danielle Schreiber. The court ruled that California law treats Patric as a sperm donor, not a parent, because he and Schreiber never married and she conceived with in vitro fertilization.
The bill sailed through the Senate but met substantial opposition in the Assembly once Schreiber and Patric hired a slew of Sacramento lobbyists to make their respective cases. Gay-rights groups split over the proposal, and women’s groups said it would diminish the ability of women to form families without men. Patric and Schreiber took the debate to TV talk shows.
While the bill was inspired by their tumultuous Hollywood romance, it would affect other California families that rely on sperm donors to create children.
The fight over SB 115 reflects the modern state of child-rearing, where many heterosexual couples never marry, some lesbian couples conceive with sperm donated by a male friend, and relationships – gay and straight – frequently dissolve after children are born.
Debate in the Assembly hearing was intense. Proponents said SB 115 would close a legal loophole that forbids certain sperm donors from being recognized as fathers when an unmarried woman is impregnated with their sperm.
The other side said the proposal was an attempt by Patric to overturn the court ruling that he lost. While advocates for children and adoptive parents argued over how the bill would affect the public, the dramatic relationship that inspired the bill was evident inside the Capitol.
Patric appeared to be rehearsing his lines as he sat in the audience waiting to testify. Schreiber did not testify but sat in a stairwell outside the hearing room.
“I have become a voice of an issue that I never wanted to be a voice for,” Patric said to the committee.
“But I’m also here mainly because I have to be Gus’ voice. My son. A voice I have not heard in 25 weeks. A voice that is not allowed to mention my name in his mother’s home. A voice that has sent me here to speak to you all.”
Schreiber’s lobbyist, Jennifer Capitolo, told the committee that her client would not testify because she had won her custody battle in court and didn’t want to rehash it before the Legislature.
“Danielle just this morning was walking here to the Capitol, and as she was walking down J Street, Jason ran at her full speed … yelling at her, saying things I’m not going to repeat right now,” Capitolo said. “She had to retreat into the Hyatt hotel and call security.”
An expression of disbelief crossed Patric’s face and he said to the lawyer sitting with him, “Are we supposed to just sit here and listen to this?”
Committee members appeared frustrated by what many described as a he-said-she-said situation. While some voiced support for Patric, they said they weren’t prepared to vote in favor of the bill….

Dead Beat Dad Factory Adjustment
The Rats Nest of Misandrist Laws – Currently under construction by ‘our’ Turkey Baster Creationist Courts in conjunction with a Demicrat controlled legislative body in itself unfit to pass gas, is an Evil edifice.
Bills like SB 115 are listed by the Sate’s Legislative Analyst as intended to work in Synergy with related slime (AB 1403 leading the pack, with Tommy T.P. Ammianon’s AB 460, 1266 & “Kiddie Porn King” Leno’s SB 274 bringing up the rear. Ahem.)…
– Although for propaganda purposes they seem to have been split up to avoid scrutiny of their Exterminationist Misandry – Hatred of Men & Boys, Masculinity and Normal Heterosexuality.
The Crux of the ‘Problem’ they intend to ‘Fix’ (think of a Male animal being neutered, after ‘harvest’) is found in the CA Supreme Court’s own notorious 2005 set of decisions better known as the ‘Turkey Baster Trio”
(K.M., v. E.G; Elisa B; Kristine H. v. Lisa R).
The Court Constructed Lie at the core of the Turkey Baster ‘Double-Think’ was the notion that a Male (XY) who goes to a ‘Deadbeat Dad Factory’ (sperm bank) and ‘anonymously donates’…
– Didn’t Intend to Procreate, and thus doesn’t even exist in the law as a parent, let alone Male Father, even of Sons who share His Male Y-DNA.
By Contrast – a Male who engages in Heterosexual Relations (even if rationally believing conception was not possible) – is Presumed to have Always Intended to Procreate, and thus is Always Responsible for His Genetic Offspring, including imprisonment as a ‘dead beat’ if he cant pay.
In Her Dissent to the ‘Turkey Baster Trio’ CA Supreme Court Justice Werdegar not only clearly outlined the Hypocrisy of the ruling –
“Usually, whether there is evidence of a parent and child relationship under the UPA does not depend upon the intent of the parent.
For example, a man who engages in sexual intercourse with a woman who assures him, falsely, that she is incapable of conceiving children is the father of a resulting child, despite his lack of intent to become a father.” Werdegar Dissent. at 4
She also clearly identified to whose Ultimate Benefit the Law about Male Genetic Parentage, Denying Others “Equal Protection” was aimed…
– Residents of the Greek Island of Lesbos:
“Although the majority denies that its rule depends on sexual orientation the opinion speaks for itself; The majority has chosen to use the term lesbian no less than six times inarticulating its holding.
Moreover, the majority prevents future courts from applying its holding automatically to persons other than lesbians.
I see no rational basis, and the majority articulates none for permitting the enforceability of an ovum donation agreement to depend on the sexual orientation of the parties. Indeed, lacking a rational basis, the rule may well violate equal protection.”
K.M., v. E.G.; Werdegar Dissentng at 6.
Hence – Males who engage in Heterosexual behaviors have a different legal standard than those who Intentionally ‘donate’ Male Sperm at ‘dead beat dad’ factories, aka ‘sperm banks’ – Provided the Male P-ns Never Touches the Womyn.
Oh Daddy, Where Art Thou?
Separatist Neo-Exterminationist Misandry (Hatred of Men & Boys, Masculinity and Normal Heterosexuality) permeates the radical gender feminist Gaystapo Agenda
This Pogrom encompasses almost all testosterone based life forms, including male animals and of course Boys (See SB 323 by Homo-Anal Coprophile Lara).
Promoting Hatreds against Boys is a preferred method of vengeance by such Misandrists, as Grown (Non ‘Uncle Tim’) Men prove more difficult to Mau Mau.
Although Taboo to discuss, Extermination of Males via Gender Selection has advanced considerably since author Jess Wells published “Lesbians Raising Sons” – 1996.
Wells raged at her inability to destroy the male sperm “the male sperm – had been poured down the sink” to prevent the unthinkable shame of a male baby:
“It was essential that I have a girl… I was profoundly disappointed. I wept. I sobbed… it brought up in me a frightening rage at the patriarchy.”
“A World Devoid of Men” is also the babble cry as the annual Tax Subsidized Anti Male Hate Riot / SF DYKE MARCH takes over the public streets & Bans Males (no permit, no payment, no p-ns) –
Well’s twisted systers abhor anything that “exude maleness”, even baby boys = “little rapist”
Separatism is highlighted in “Post Partum Paranoia” over the
““misunderstanding that resulted in this male child.
I kept thinking of all the concerts from which we would be excluded, all the radical conferences at which we wouldn’t be welcome, all the women’s land on which we could never live.”
The “right” to have a family without a father. I suppose now there is a “right” to have a family without a mother, too. It is just all so very insane and untrue. The “Battle of the Sexes” carried to extreme, and no one thinking how it affects the children out of pure selfishness.
Kids in the Muddle
Well Said AnneT! Although a pauper, the internet has allowed me to track the ‘Long March of Misandry’ through the legislature…
-Way back to the days of 50s tv Hasbian Zelda Kuehl, ‘$5 Smidgen’ and the other twisted systers who started the axe swinging.
Having been the only Non-Feminist Male voice at many hearings; I also witnessed Children being ‘represented’ – meaning used as a dodge to scam the politicos out of more tax money, or be seen as meanies to the kiddies on tv.
Because ‘Our’ Atheistic Pseudo-Pagan Legislature denies that ‘sperm & ovum = Heterosexual Procreation’, and that Babies are Humans from the moment of Conception…
Nobody is actually Representing Children as such. Infants are used as Hostages like staged tantrum theater props…
– But Babies In the Womb have a much more tenuous legislative status.
The Reality of ‘anonymous donation’ is personified by the ‘donor’ with @ 500 or so Children, many to professed Greeks from the Island of Lesbos. Ahem
His Biological Offspring Also have Siblings too – Hundreds of them; who may or may not know about ‘ole dad’, let alone each other.
Genetic fingerprinting has ended future “Unknown Soldiers” – and DNA is legally used for criminal cases.
I say it is a Right of a Child (Human At Conception) to Know who their Male (XY) Father and a Female (XX) Mother are.
The Science Doesn’t Lie, although the Politicos Do – But the Rights of the Child Take Precedence over politics.
