Birth Certificate to Say Baby Has 2 Moms Nov 15 4:50 PM US/Eastern

MOUNT LAUREL, N.J.
Two women will be listed as parents on the birth certificate of a baby born this week in New Jersey, one of the first implications of a state Supreme Court ruling that gives same-sex couples access to the same rights as married couples.
The state and the women agreed in a closed family court proceeding Monday, the day before the child was born, that both women should be listed in light of the landmark high court ruling. A judge agreed with the state and the women, lawyers said.
In New Jersey, birth certificates are typically mailed to parents.
Assistant Attorney General Patrick DeAlmeida said the women are the first he knows of to take advantage of new rights granted by the Oct. 25 ruling.
The Burlington County women, who are registered as domestic partners, did not want their names made public, their attorney Stephen Hyland said.
Under state law, the husband of a woman who gives birth through artificial insemination is listed on the birth certificate as the father. No such provision is made for lesbian couples, who often go through lengthy and costly adoptions to give both women equal rights as parents.

Please explain the correlation between altering birth certificates to reflect changing sexual roles and the State owning the means of production.
I'll wait.
Well, at least the father will not have to cough up 50% of his income and assets, if the love child ever finds out who is his father.
....and the State owning the means of production.
Each according to his means, each according to his need?
"Welcome to the Socialist Brave New World."
Encouraged by a number of Freepers on this thread. Opposed to homosexuality deemed as normal? You and everybody that has lived before you is an ignorant bigot, evidently.
LOL! Okay, that's damn funny.
I can see it now. Both my parents suffered from hot flashes, PMS endometriosis and recurring yeast infections. That ought to be helpful!
Nobody likes to be on the losing side of a generation gap.
The current government in Spain is in fact socialist. A long time goal of socialism is the removal of the traditional family, with child rearing and education being transfered to the State. See Nazi Germany and the departed Soviet Union, Cuba and China. Read the works of the "progressives" on education such as Addams and Dewey.
It is normal, because it's always existed. The disdain for it has also always existed, which makes that normal as well. The two are not mutually exclusive.
and these parents would be incapable of providing a loving environment if their names weren't both on the birth certificate?
No, this was for the adults, not the child. How will the child know which mother is the biological mother? Oh, she'll know, all right, and one day she'll want to know who her biological father is, because it's NATURAL for humans to want to know their biological parents, it is something just about all of us desire, and there's a reason for that.
Oh, and partitioning Iraq just means giving the bottom half to Iran, creating a top half that will be in a war with Turkey, and a center portion which will either be a terrorist haven, or eventually also owned by Iran.
That's not a plan, that's a disaster in the making.
As opposed to the 'slam dunk' we're currently involved in.
We may well fail, but let's fail at doing the right thing, not succeed in doing the wrong thing.
How is the Iraq conflict related to the subject of this thread? Either there was an amazing jump of logic or the war is far stranger than I ever imagined.
He was commenting on my tagline. I shouldn't have responded...mea culpa.
Shouldn't they list a mother and a turkey baster on the certificate?
--or--
See, I TOLD you lesbian sex was just as procreative as hetero sex! /s
"Nobody likes to be on the losing side of a generation gap."
You really believe that, don't you? This is some game and you are on some winning "side". Pathetic.
Change, in itself, is not inherently positive. Accepting the un-natural and amoral as good and natural is not a generational matter. It's a matter of abandoning a complete history in favor of a few people's "feelings". The kid no more has 2 mothers than I have 4 arms. It's just nonesense that the likes of you lend credence to. For what? The "feelings" of a pervert. The fact that this is state sanctioned is just the icing on the cake.
Disapproving of people's disgusting behavior does not make one a bigot. Forgive me if I don't join you on your continued slide into liberal depravity.
Nor does your disapproval make their behavior disgusting.
