I also think a government should be able to create policy in this area. What's horrifying is that the government has deemed it morally preferable to assign custody to strangers over the mother. Losing custody is usually due to things like neglect, child endangerment, drug use... now simply "being single" can be added to the list. When two people who may disagree on the personhood status of an embryo can agree that this policy is bad. It must be a pretty terrible policy.
