Arkansas Supreme Court Rejects Political Correctness, Upholds Biological Truth of Parentage

On December 8, 2016, the Arkansas Supreme Court injected a bit of sanity into the growing confusion surrounding legal recognition of same-sex relationships.   The trend in American jurisprudence for the past five or ten years has been to ignore all differences between same-sex couples and male-female couples in a quest for equality.  That is especially true concerning their legal recognition as family relationships.

This week, however, the Arkansas Supreme Court rendered a reasonable opinion in Smith v. Pavan, 2016 Ark. 437 (8 Dec. 2016).  The key issues in the case concerned the constitutionality of Arkansas statutes regulating birth certificates for children who are born to married women by means of artificial insemination.

Fishrrman's credo:
Reality is what it is. It is not what we believe it to be.

From the article:
The Arkansas Supreme Court also focused on the truthful reality of parentage.  The honest “biological nexus of the biological mother and the biological father of the child … is to be truthfully recorded on the child’s birth certificate. [T]ruthful information is required in the application for an initial or amended birth certificate … .”

Bravo to the Arkansas Supreme Court for seeing reality for what it is.

The birth certificate should report the mother's name as it is, and I will assume that for an artificial insemination, the father will be reported as "unknown".

The leftists, of course, would mandate that both women's names be entered on the birth certificate.

As much of a falsehood and denial of reality as is the notion of "gay marriage" itself!
