The Food and Drug Administration is working to put an end to a California' man's free sperm donation operation. Trent Arsenault, who has provided more than 350 donations and fathered 14 children through them, tells KNTV's Traci Grant he's just "helping people in need."

Prominent gay donor asks Mitt Romney for his money back over same-sex marriage

As you've undoubtedly heard, President Obama came out in support of same-sex marriage last week. (Yay! I mean, a little late and also he said it was up to the states to decide, which is silly, but still: yay!)

He even got a standing ovation for saying so in his commencement speech at Jerry Falwell's super conservative Liberty University.

Jeff Dolan spent Father’s Day in jail, locked away in jail because he couldn’t pay child support, but he couldn’t pay child support because he was unemployed and he was unemployed because the court took his driver’s license for failure to pay child support, after he went bankrupt paying his court costs.

Angry women's groups said last night that it would be the children at the centre of the disputes who would suffer most if money were paid back.

In each case the duped men were able to prove beyond doubt in the courts they were not the fathers using DNA paternity testing.

In the biggest case, Queensland man Ken Rodgers obtained orders for the repayment of $60,000 after making child support contributions over a decade to a woman who refused to even send him a photograph of his alleged child.

Making mothers pay back child support was last night condemned by women's groups.

As Senate Republicans block the DISCLOSE Act, legislation that would unmask anonymous campaign donors, we look at Sheldon Adelson, a major donor behind Republican campaigns. Adelson has pledged to donate $100 million to defeat President Obama but is now coming under new scrutiny for possible violations of federal anti-bribery law and ties to Chinese organized crime stemming from efforts to build casinos and other projects in Macau.
