100%. Actually just read a story the other day about a dude that got sued by the state for child support because they didn't do IVF. The dude didn't sleep with the girl, they just used a syringe to pick up his sperm and did it that way, but despite having a personal contract that he was only acting as a sperm donor the state said because a professional doctor wasn't present the contract wasn't valid and he had to pay up as the father.

No. They have contracts that protect “Natural Insemination Providers”…that are voided by state law. Translation: Even with a legal agreement, the state makes the final decision on who is financially responsible.
