Equality often means things people don't want it to mean and this is a perfect case in point. Notice that male fathers were attempting to support the "dispossessed" because that would help them in the battle against biology. Didn't work. A true case of judicial equality applied equally.
I've never been a big fan of biology automatically giving anyone more of a right to a child. Some biological parents are great and some are awful.

As far as the case goes, this is the real important part:

The court also said the woman, who toiled long hours as codirector of a nonprofit organization, did not spend enough time caring for the child to establish her parental rights while the biological mother tended to most of the caretaking.
I wonder how the court would have ruled if it was the biological mother who was always working and the non-biological one who brought the child up.
