Supreme Court orders Arkansas to allow names of both same-sex parents on their children's birth certificates, reversing Arkansas high court
I am sure his name will be kept around to be an atm if the lesbians desire money from him.
Why list the parents at all?
If the baby is from artificial insemination from a sperm bank, thats pretty anonymous already AND you really can’t presume that donor as the “father” for legal purposes, tho some have tried.
Having 2 women or 2 men as the parents is meaningless in so far as it is not true, biologically speaking.
MAYbe it assigns a second responsible adult for the state to chase down when the relationship invariably fails.
Its a sad sad mess that these poor kids did not ask for.
Except that he wrote the dissent, Einstein.
If you Adopt a Child are you and your Spouse listed on the Birth Certificate? Didn’t think so.
Birth Certificate: Now an ownership registration document.
Well now you KNOW that Gay marriage is here to stay no matter the makeup of the court!
Except that he wrote the dissent, Einstein.

I firmly stuck my foot in my mouth twice today. Apologies to FR and Justice Goresuch.
There has always been a distinction between biological parents and legal parents.
Birth Certificate = Birth Parents
Good grief...a whole gotta homos trolling this thread
You are classy to say so!
"Birth Certificate = Birth Parents"
So what? The issue is legal parents, not birth parents. They are not always the same. Obviously in cases of adoption, but not even restricted to that. Generally, with a married couple the law recognizes the husband as the legal father, and has upheld that status even in cases where proof existed that he was not the biological father.
Your “Pretzel Logic” is required to support homosexual agenda.
Obviously, natural birth parents are meaningless to you.
As I stated, “Birth Certificate = Birth Parents”.
The legal parental status is entirely separate.
It’s not rocket science...except for the homosexual crowd.
Gorsuch is compromised, a la John Roberts. The left only mildly protested his nomination. Hope I’m wrong.
What if someone, for medical reasons or otherwise, wants to track their family tree and there are only two “dads” on their birth certificate? How would that work if the two dads were gone?
