Jerry Orbach's dead?! *whimper*

In other news, can I stay home and write? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease? What do you mean, 'No'? Hmph. Killjoys.

EDIT: You want to divorce your abusive husband? Not a problem. Oh, wait, you're pregnant. Sorry, no divorce. After all, your kid needs an abusive a father. Like whispersinink said, aren't you thrilled we're getting rid of those activist judges? *end sarcasm*

I wish the law was simple, but it's not. The court, in family case situations, will only deal in concrete facts. There are just too many things that could go wrong with hypothetical babies. The system may not be perfect for every situation, but it does the best it can for the majority.

The bastard label really is a throwback to older times. The law changes very slowly...and in a way you sort of want it that way. Law that are inacted as knee jerk reactions usually have really bad consequences (i.e. the recent ban on same sex marriages).
