Gay Couples Entitled to Equal Treatment on Birth Certificates, Justices Rule

Kennedy and Ginsburg, because Roberts can’t be relied on either.

PING

"...what is the purpose of a birth certificate? Whose is it? The “Parents” or the baby? Is it a document to make the parents happy about the circumstances of the birth of a child,

or is it for the future use of the child to document the reality of his “being”? I think we’ve got a mess happening here.

[Vendome]

Fine but, the certificate must say “Amended” on the appropriate line of the BC

[Phillyred]

Only positive with this ruling is Trump picked a good one.

[TiGuy22]

its a BIRTH Certificate, not a family group sheet.

[Deplorable American1776]

I’m glad Kennedy is retiring if the rumors are correct. He’s an idiot.

[madprof98]

Too bad the kids will not be able to live in this “let’s pretend” world our elites have fashioned for us. Everybody else will know they have no daddy, and they will suffer for it as long as they live.

[bgill]

Just wait until three parents start arguing over who gets to be listed first.

This is why we need to get Kennedy and the other liberal kooks off the court.

What happens when the kid gets to be 12=18 and runs his DNA? Gays get divorced at a higher rate than straights. He’s going to find out the big lie. How’s it going to mess with his head, especially if, as most do, he grows up straight and the child wants to change his birth certificate to single mother parent, which he may not now be able to do now?

And what if a woman decides to be un-gay and decides to marry a man instead? That child is set up for having a gay influence ‘ex’ in his life for 18 years, compliments of a court who designated the ‘ex’ as ‘parent’. How’s that going to go over?

So now birth certificates have become meaningless and unhelpful records of ancestry. It's just another "blue ribbon" that everyone gets for participation. Those coddled little idiots pampered throughout school have grown up into precious little snowflakes that still need their ribbons.

[so_real]

There are hereditary diseases carried on both the X and the Y chromosomes. It's important to know who donated them when there is a fear of a child having such a disorder. The birth certificate is not supposed to be a "participation ribbon" that everyone gets just to feel good about themselves ...

[Obadiah]

We need Roberts to retire!

[Uncle Sam 911]

So Roberts once again sided with the lunatic left on the court. Didn’t we used to hear how conservative he was/is?

[Secret Agent Man]

It is not right to name a man as a father to a child that is not his. Not unless he wants to adopt it. Otherwise the state and woman are treating him as an atm and forcing him into financial slavery for something he is not responsible for.

[azishot]

Justice Neil M. Gorsuch, joined by Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel A. Alito Jr., dissented.

We can always count on Roberts to do the wrong thing.

[LucyT]

We can always count on Roberts to do the wrong thing.

He should have stepped down when his health issues began. Perhaps the medication he takes affects his thinking process.

Even more egregious, he shouldn't have accepted a seat on the Supreme Court. Roberts knew he was involved in illegal activity when he adopted his children.

.

[Deplorable American1776]

What illegal activity? I didn’t know he adopted kids? Info on it. I need to be informed.

[azishot]

Roberts knew he was involved in illegal activity when he adopted his children.

Absolutely but he knew he was *too important* to ever be held accountable. Some animals really are more equal than others.
