Father's Rights: Our Legal System Is Officially INSANE
I saw this article this morning, saying that a judge in Maryland has decided that a RAPIST has "father's rights":

(here's the headline and first paragraph:
Rape suspects' parental rights under debate
In Maryland, a man who fathers a child through rape maintains parental rights, such as the right to appeal for visitation or custody of his offspring.)
This is insane. In a system where fathers who live with their children every day of the marriage are denied visitation post-separation, and ex-boyfriends are given "supervised visitation" because of unsupported acusations of alcohol abuse, to even consider that a rapist has father's rights is insane.
Fathers who love their children have to fight every day in a system that refuses to acknowledge that love. They have to fight against judges who find it easier to calculate unpaid child support than lost parenting time. They fight mother who love the child support more than they respect the need for a loving father to be in his children's lives.
And now they are told that they are put on the same level of animals who rape women.
Our legal system is now insane. Plan your litigation accordingly.
The answer is not to amend the statute, as the article states, but for the legal system to presume that fathers love their children, and that being a rapist irrebuttably rebuts that presumption. Let the rapists form a lobby and change the laws, not force fathers to do it.
