NJ court ruling blocking newborn's dad from delivery room is first in nation

[Half-Century Man]

125. Uterus custody?

I read it, as he just wanted to be informed in a timely manner and to meet the child on her birthday. Apparently he got that. He met his daughter on her birthday, at the hospital. I think that was a good thing.

I think it is sad that he felt he had to sue. I am not familiar enough with the father, mother, or specifics of the case to judge personal motive(s). I do wonder about the "just cause" for not wanting to inform the father about going into labor. That tidbit of information was conspicuously absent from the article. Maybe on purpose, to cause talk about the issue and drive up sales of the newspaper which was the source.
The court re-recognized the medical reasons why mothers should have a say in the occupants allowed in the room during time of birth, just as they would reaffirm the medical reasons the doctors get a say as well.

Whether you have a double X or an XY chromosome in your helix; missing out on the birth of a your child is....troublesome.
