And do you think she was the only one? For all we know, there was a flourishing black market.
Another reason why female equality should have been part of a greater evolution, not just one woman sleeping with the Grand Nagus. In "Angel One", Mistress Beata isn't planning on killing the "revolutionaries" because they're a danger in and if themselves. Rather, their example is inspiring other men to demand equal rights and treatment. That is how societies transition away from institutionalized sexism. What we saw in "Profit and Lace" made no sense at all.

^its just a show. I’m an over thinker but I just enjoy Trek.
There's nothing wrong with overthinking. It's just exercise for the mind.
Star Trek gives me alot of exercise these days.
Nimoy wanted to direct, but wanted changes to the script Berman wasn't willing to make. So he backed out. Can't remember why De Kelly backed out?
I think it was revealed somewhere that the infant's people were close by Voyager's location. They were able to contact them and return the child to its home world. It was just sloppy writing that we weren't informed.
Remember, Voyager's writers were incapable of realizing that an ensign is supposed to make lieutenant. You can't expect competent performance from them.
If I recall correctly, he said he didn't want to do it without Nimoy, and I agree that that was probably a good call.
I know people will probably find this mind-blowing, but many decisions aren't for the writers to make. Or even the producers, or else we would've ended up with a year long "Year of Hell".
I mean the vanishing Borg baby probably was caused by logistics. Infants are notoriously hard to film with (both due to regulations and because they are infants) and open up very few possible storylines. Especially in a scifi adventure show.
So ditching it only made sense.
Like what Borg baby storylines can you think of? A comedy episode where Neelix/Harry has to babysit it?

Oh, let me be clear, I agree with the decision to eliminate the Borg baby. They could have given it 5 seconds in one of Janeway's logs: "the Borg infant the doctor rescued came from a nearby world. She has been returned to her people, and we have resumed our journey."
But again, if they weren't willing to devote 30s to a scene where Janeway pins a hollow pip on Harry's collar and the rest of the senior staff applauds... could the Borg baby expect any time at all? Probably not.
Oh I agree they could have done that. Voyager liked its pointless pre-credits scenes in many episodes so they could have done a scene where Janeway hands over the infant to a smiling couple on some planet and beams back to the ship with warm fuzzies about reuniting a family. I agree.
I always figured the baby died. Like, it was 60% Borg parts, and the Doctor had enough trouble getting the Borg parts out of Seven. It would be exponentially harder on an infant and maybe not possible.
