Every human life has a sacred dignity from the moment of conception; but some methods of conception are intrinsically de-dignifying; through the parents' mishap, fault, or failing, they fall short of what a human child has a right to.

To flourish whole-heartedly, a child needs a Mom and a Dad who are married and who love their child and each other. How radical is that?
Some babies are fatherless by chance. No babies should be fatherless by choice.
