From the Chicago Sun-Times:
Court: Man can sue over ‘surprise’ pregnancy

If a woman performs oral sex on a man, leaves the room, secretly uses that sperm to impregnate herself, then sues the man for child support, is that “extreme and outrageous” conduct?
Yes it is, the Illinois Appellate Court ruled this week.
The justices said Chicago doctor Richard Phillips can try to convince a jury that his ex-fiancee pulled that trick on him, causing him emotional distress.
The ex-fiancee, Sharon Irons, also a doctor, says Phillips got her pregnant the old-fashioned way — sexual intercourse — and concocted the oral sex story as a novel excuse to get out of paying child support for their 5-year-old daughter.
“It’s a pack of lies,” said Irons, who says she and Phillips have dated off and on since they were students at the University of Illinois Medical School and rekindled their romance after she separated from her husband.
