what exactly we're debating. I assume you understand the extremely negative impact such media attention on a family / child who doesn't want it can have, so that's what I feel the "hurt" in this specific case is. In 15 years even if he wins and hypothetical families around the country are thanking him, his own child, the very UN-hypothetical person this is focused on, is very unlikely to feel she's been done a favor.
If you're asking, ideally, why should fighting for your rights cause your child to be hurt, well of course it shouldn't - it just is, in this case, and Mr. Newdow went into this knowing full well that it would, which is my problem with him individually.
My problem with the country at large is that no, I don't know a better way for him to have done it, there just ought to be one. |
