Whatever one's position on biological and adoptive parents,
it was not possible to regard as anything but awful the government's taking
of a 2-year-old girl from her family and handing her over to two people
she has never known.
Is there a way to prevent such an evil from recurring; as indeed it is
at this very moment in San Diego?

Society must announce to men: If you don't marry the mother, you have
no claims on her child; you have nothing to say if she wants an abortion
or wants to give the child to adoptive parents.
