From Hunter's website:
I strongly believe Congress needs to remain actively involved in ensuring parents rights are protected and I have significant concerns with recent judicial rulings recognizing de-facto or psychological parents, individuals who assist in raising a child. These types of decisions undermine parental authority, allowing any adult with an association with the child to make parental claims.
Way far from strong enough and very Republican (not Conservative) approach generally (marriage amendment to the constitution which is never going to happen; blaming the judiciary without acknowledging the role of Congress and the two parties) - but the statement almost provides a glimmer of hope. Maybe if they repeat it enough - "parental rights undermined" - they might eventually get it to the point that they'll feel a need to do 180 degree turn on their family policy agenda and do something to fix it. "parental rights undermined" is this millenium's understatement.

Thanks for the comments. At least he understands there is an issue there. I’ve seen little evidence of that from anyone else.
I understand where you are coming from.
