One of the long-term effects we're concerned about is the teaching to children that a father is not needed, by way of teaching that artificial insemination is just as good as a known, loving, married/divorced, rich/poor, live-in/out father.

This teaching and role modeling of no need for a known, identifiable, present father is especially worrisome in light of the above-quoted poverty known to be closely linked with fatherlessness!

I read this twice, but don't see a legitimate point.
