I mean, I get that the point is that there's nothing magical about straight coupledom that makes people fit parents, but I don't understand why Dan devotes so many posts to this relatively weak argument.

How about printing some stories about children raised by gay couples who turned into happy, well-adjusted adults? That would be both better ammo against people like Jones, and much less depressing to read.

If one or both of the parents fight CPS, the kid is not going to be adopted. She might be shuffled in and out of foster care throughout childhood, but adoption? No.

Nothing short of raping or nearly killing one's children results in an "easy" severing of parental "rights".

Call me crazy, but it seems like "leaving the baby in a cold car" is trumped here by "almost crashing the car while beating and choking a woman."

But, hell; I can't red these terrible stories.

Thankfully, at 23 days, the baby will not remember this, and hopefully can get into Child Protective Services and--just maybe, if the system works the way it hardly ever does--get a crack at a relatively safe childhood.
