I look at it from my own life. If two close lesbian friends asked me to donate sperm, I would do it in a heartbeat. If they turned around after splitting and tried to hit me up for child support (after I very clearly already signed away my rights to the child), there would be something very wrong with this.
All this talk about how it was "his choice" and he "created a child" is complete folly. This pregnancy was not the result of his hedonistic sexual escapades or his own lack of responsibility. It was a donation so that two people who could not have a child would be able to have a child. Ungrateful biatches.
Sick.

Brian, regardless of whether you think the women are good folks or not (I have no idea) the man IS the biological father. Nobody is saying he was involved in "hedonistic sexual escapades" but I am saying that he is responsible for creating two human beings (along with the biological mother of course). When you say you would gladly "help" your friends create a baby...what is it that you are saying? A baby is not a piece of property, it's not the same as if you helped them build a patio...your actions would create a human being...a child...and you would feel no responsibility for that life? You might be able to legally sign away any legal responsibility but I submit you'd remain morally responsible!
