In what ways should the law seek to facilitate, or oppose, parenting and child-rearing practices that depart from the nuclear family with two heterosexual parents? What should the state's stance be on single parent families, unwed motherhood, or the adoption of children by gay and lesbian parents? How should authority over child rearing and education be divided between parents and the state? And how should the state deal with the inequalities that arise from birthright citizenship?
