Indiana’s Attorney General, Curtis Hill has submitted a brief asking the Supreme Court to rethink a court decision that protects same-sex parents.
Hill argues that parental rights based on biology are at risk. The brief states: “A birth mother’s wife will never be the biological father of the child, meaning that, whenever a birth-mother’s wife gains presumptive parentage status, a biological father’s rights and obligations to the child have necessarily been undermined without proper adjudication.” Ten months ago the U.S.
7th Circuit Court Of Appeals backed a lower court decision that made it legal for same-sex couples in Indiana to both be listed as parental guardians on their children’s birth certificates.
