Johnson "obessed" with donating sperm

Sun 6 May 2012 In: New Zealand Daily News

Bill Johnson A one-time anti-gay American political candidate who made headlines for donating sperm to lesbian couples here in New Zealand has apparently left his wife to be with the children he’s sired. After a failed run for Alabama governor, Bill Johnson came to New Zealand to help with the Christchurch earthquake recovery efforts. Using the name "chchbill" to he joined donor registries for New Zealand women looking to get pregnant, including a number of lesbian couples. His wife Kathy Johnson has told the New Zealand Herald he has now moved back to New Zealand to be a part of the lives of the children his sperm has produced. She said he donated sperm to women wanting children at least 50 times over just a few months. "He is obsessed with this," the former Miss America finalist told the Herald. "He doesn't want to stop. "I will not chase him to the other side of the world so he can be a part-time father to children he created with other women," she said. Mrs Johnson, who has had a hysterectomy, said her husband had signed away his rights to the children but had an expectation he would be able to build a relationship.
