Lancaster County District Judge Ryan Post said in his ruling last month dismissing the lawsuit that state law requires birth certificates to acknowledge paternity. Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services policy also requires that parents listed on birth certificates be the biological parents of the child, he said.on behalf of Erin Porterfield and Kristin Williams.
They said the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services repeatedly denied their request to amend one son’s birth certificate in their effort to get full legal recognition as parents of both their sons — one born to each woman conceived through a sperm donor.Porterfield and Williams were in a romantic partnership from 2000 to 2013 — two years before same-sex marriage was legalized in Nebraska.
This is great!! Big victory here.
Sounds about right
This is great!! Simple common sense. 🥳🥳
Ok, because it can’t be two mothers. It’s impossible for two women to guve birth to the same person. Logic ppl. Logic
And you wonder why the geniuses in that state can't field a competitive college football team.
Bureaucracy ignoring the obvious. Do they do a DNA test on the daddies before they issue a birth certificate?
Is there and exception for rape and incest?
According to law, the names on birth certificate have to be biological parents.... this is not a DNA registry, this is a certificate to acknowledge who is taking responsibility for the kid. F that state
Well, it might sound controversial, but! It's science. To conceive a child you need sperm (men-made) and an egg (women-made). And there's no shit about genders or anything in it - straight up logic and science. (P.S. You can call yourself whatever the f you want tho)
Nebraska…where you can have a sister wife and a father cousin but not two mothers. Yt people am I right?
Good
No law of the UnitedStates says that. Judge needs to be censured.
america moment
Birth certificates do not confirm paternity. Even if a male and a female are listed on the birth certificate in some states, the listed father does not have any legal responsibility for the child unless and until he is legitimized or is married to the birth mother.
This makes sense 👏. Every human being is a product of a male and female.
Whats in adopted children’s birth certificates, what on heterosexual couples with sperm donors baby certificates? Whats wrong with listing all involved? I have no clue just asking ..
There's no reason Just bigotry
No duh……
A judge that recognizes real science. How refreshing.
They need to put the governor of their state on the birth certificates since everybody's forced to birth these days
A judge not divorced from reality. How refreshing
To make a baby you require a man and woman. This is the biology. No matter what your politician or “news source” tells you.
life uh… finds a way
Hahaha Nebraska
of course not. Like it or not a child has to have a father. Two mothers, for heaven's sake. Let's not fool ourselves because Nature hasn't changed that yet
In TN, if you're married, your husband's name goes on the birth certificate whether you're still together or not, regardless of actual paternity. You have to go through courts to get it changed. If a person is willing to commit their lives to a child, why does the court care?
