Steven this is excellent. It was a frustrating experience to read the original article. So much not said and so much bs. Reading your response erased the frustration and left me shaking my head, yeah, yeah.
Right on.
Do we have True Equality?

The trouble with your Kathy analogy is that it's a little far-fetched. I've been trying to think of a better one, and it's not easy. Best I can come up with is this :
Kathy gets pregnant in a casual encounter with a man she doesn't know. She has the baby and takes advantage of a state law that allows her to abandon a baby so long as it is abandoned at a medical facility, but she makes the mistake of using a hospital that she's been to before.
The child is adopted, and eight years later one of the adoptive parents is killed in a car accident, resulting in bankruptcy for the family. Adoptive mom checks with the hospital, and they find Kathy. Kathy gets sued for child support. Without a DNA test, Kathy may or may not be the biological mother - the baby could be someone elses abandoned child left at the same time - and Kathy has never met this child, has missed out on all sorts of choices and milestones in the childs life, and what's more, Kathy isn't wanted as a parent. The Adoptive mom isn't interested in competition, so any visitation awarded won't be honored.

By making the NON-biological father responsible for raising the child, the TRUE biological father is denied his child, and the child is denied his/her father.
This sounds like kidnapping to me.
