This is an accessibility issue.

If JavaScript is disabled or otherwise unable to open the window nothing 
will happen when the link is clicked on.

<a onclick="javascript:window.open('http://www.fatherhood.org',
                 'FatherHood','width=auto, height=auto,
toolbar=1,location=1,directories=1,status=1,menubar=1,scrollbars=1,resizable=0'); 
return false"
href="http://www.fatherhood.org/"> Fatherhood</a>

The above accomplishes the same thing for JavaScript enabled browsers, but 
lets non-JavaScript browsers view the link. Mileage for JavaScript enabled 
browsers that can't open new windows will vary.
