...pressed Mulroney hard on the issue of women's rights. With his head slightly lowered and his steely blue eyes fixed on his opponent, Turner declared, "Mr. Mulroney sat in the House of Commons for ten months, and he asked only 39 questions. Not one of those questions dealt with women's issues." Finally, after a lackluster showing in the earlier debates, Turner was proving that he could be a tough adversary...

New York University Law Professor Martin Guggenheim, who handled Martin's Supreme Court appeal, denounced the decision as a "throwback to pre-20th century law," when children had few rights. Some critics thought it was especially unfortunate that the high court upheld the New York laws since Guggenheim had convinced two lower federal courts that it was being used...
