I can tell you that this kind of ruling has been struck down before, and probably will be this time.
There is hope, though. In New York (which is where this case is) a few years back they manage to succesfully take away a woman's parental rights from the start, basically the moment the child was born. She had had several previous children removed from her custody, and had lost parental rights to most of them. The ruling held up through all appeals.
