43. i read the article trying to understand how the case came to court at all

The article didn't say, but the comments below (and you should just look at some of the racist/bigoted shit on there!) clarified that the case was originally about establishing the baby's last name.

At first I was totally confused -- after all, who has standing to make a legal case about a name, other than the holder of that name?
