Won't Somebody Please Think of the Children!?! (Part MCVIX)

Via Playboy's second favorite libertarian blog, a link to an interesting draft paper by Eugene Volokh on how child custody decisions may depend on parents' controversial cultural, political, or religious beliefs. On a semi-related note, I'm pleased to see that earlier this summer, Ulf Hedberg (whose story had to be trimmed from the draft version of my Aug/Sept gay adoption piece) has won reversal of a Virginia court order demanding that Hedberg's partner—a parent in the eyes of Hedberg's son—move out if he wanted to keep custody of his child.
