voting intentions. It is a “liberal” state, that is to say, it went for Kerry and returned a
Democrat Senator. One of the obstacles facing the shared parenting movement worldwide is that, for no obvious reason, it gets marginalised as a “right-wing” issue. So all the negative press about the Geldof on Fathers programme was in liberal-left papers like the Guardian, Observer and Independent. Especially where it concerned Gelfdof’s views on marriage (he thinks couples give up on it too quickly) they lost no time in aligning him with those terrifying bogeymen of the sinister “Christian Right” – Bush voters! Yet Massachussetts voters went 8 to 1 in favour of shared parenting. (see page 5). In the UK, Margaret Hodge, after some rhetoric in which she decried the Tories turning of parental equality into a party political issue, turned it into, er, a party-political issue. When FNF visited Shadow Attorney-General Dominic Grieve MP about a year ago, he, like Hodge, said this must not happen; up, he warned, would go the shutters against any meaningful reform. We’d get window dressing instead. He wasn’t far wrong; July’s Family Resolutions Green Paper does look like window dressing. Yet when Grieve’s very reasonable Children Bill amendment was placed, asking for a presumption of equality, Hodge was withering in her dismissal of it, accusing Grieve of “Jumping on a band-wagon” and of “opportunism”. The amendment was roundly rejected. Labour has spent a century championing equality trotting, yet all their MPs - including some who support shared parenting, obediently trotted through the “No” lobby, while Tories and Lib-Dems went through the “Aye” lobby. There were no exceptions, no rebels, no MPs voting acccording to conscience. It was as if this were an issue comparable to high or low tax. The strange thing about this polarisation is that both John Baker, FNF chair, and Martin Crapper, vice-chair have been Labour activists. FNF has always been the broadest of churches, with members from all races, all classes and all political persuasions, absolutely not identified with left or right.

The two flew to Haiti and were married, and their daughter Hilary was born Aug. 21, 1982. By this time, Dr. Morgan had left Dr. Foretich and the two were divorced in late 1982. In 1984, after a legal battle, Dr. Morgan was awarded custody of the child; Dr. Foretich had visitation rights on vacations and alternating weekends.
