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

By GEOFF MULVIHILL Associated Press Writer

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.

Cool, now you are campaigning for NAMBLA? Hey, what do I know, I'm out of touch. Being a queer is all cool now I guess. I guess next it'll be child molsetation. Sure looks like it.

Okay. But bad things tend to happen when the west starts fiddling around with maps of the middle east.

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.

Well, you see, in order to win the war, the lesbians must outbreed the terrorists.

If the birth certificate was honest it would say:

MOTHER: Ms. Carpe T. Muncher

FATHER: Some bag of jism picked out of a catalog.

Suzy Quzy:Our country is sooooooo over.

durasell:Did you honestly expect to live your whole life in a country that was exactly the same as the one you were born into?

Got Non sequitur, durasell?

Bad things tend to happen to occupying forces as well.

It's accepted in some geographic areas and not accepted in others. The majority of gay people have quite sensibly moved from those places where it isn't accepted to those places where it is accepted in order to live their lives as they see fit.

Kind of a new take on "Who's on First?"

Our country is not so weak that a simple shift in social mores can destroy it.

I disagree. It is precisely our social mores that make us who we are as a nation. If we no longer wish to form "a more perfect union" and strive for the ideals of our founding as enumerated in the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, Federalist Papers, et al, we will cease to be a nation at all.

Maybe this particular instance won't empty the sandbox but the sand is shifting under our feet...

Thanks for putting into words what I've been trying to this whole thread.

It's related. She said the country was "over." I stated that the country is in a constant state of change.

There are MEDICAL reasons that they might want to trace his genetic background.

From the article:

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.
So, it seems the birth certificate does not address the genetic background issue for normal couples, either, when artificial insemination (or infidelity, for that matter) is involved.

You live up to your name. For the record: that wasn't a compliment.

It is precisely our social mores that make us who we are as a nation.

You mean the social mores of the 18th century such as slavery and second-class citizenship for women?

Social attitudes change, but the ideals of Liberty and the Representative Democracy endure.

It is normal, because it's always existed.

I'd send your dictionary back for replacement. The copy you got is clearly flawed.

Nice try, though. Thanks for playing.

My son is adopted. His mother is the biological mother. Bio-Dad is dead and never was a part of the child's life.

According to Indiana law, My name was listed on the revised birth certificate. There is nothing on the document to indicate my sone is adopted.

"Social attitudes change, but the ideals of Liberty and the Representative Democracy endure."

It's funny you say that, because this was allowed becuase of judicial fiat.
