Thanks for that perspective.
I was concerned about the baby/child...
not any “rights” one way or the other of the so-called “parents”

I was not thinking about the “parents”

But I do know that this is a knot of a problem, without a clear simple answer. So, mea culpa on that part.

Still and all, the children will (IMHO) need the Church’s guidance and help a lot more (or at least as much, anyway) as kids who have normal parents.... and I just can’t wrap my one remaining tired little gray cell around the idea that the babies should be denied baptism or a Church home.......based solely on what their “parents” are doing with their lives

just my thoughts. I do not claim I have any unique channel to God, just feel this way about the babies is all....thanks for understanding,

Then why not perform secret baptisms upon mass crowds such as baseball stadiums, concert halls, hospital nurseries, etc? Let’s imitate the mormons!

The vehement anti-Catholic, pro-abortion, pro-homo, Abe Foxman was baptized a Catholic. Do you think that has helped or hurt the fate of his eternal soul?

If you’re not thinking about the parents, how can you claim to be concerned about the child?

Do you expect a baptized infant to raise himself in the Catholic faith all by his lonesome?
