nope. the law simply makes the two people in a civil union legal parents of the child, same as adoption.
Applying A person alleged to be a parent shall be rebuttably presumed to be the natural parent of a child if:.... (4) the child is born while the husband and wife are legally married to each other. to married lesbians does just that
nope. your argument has been directly refuted. no law exists presuming the woman to be a father, or a man giving birth to a child.
Two men or two women, both presumed to be the "natural parent" of a child are still in the real world where the natural parents of every child consist of one man and one woman. Natural mothers who give birth and natural fathers who fathered the children.
yea, still no law existing presuming the woman to be a father, or a man giving birth to a child. so like I said, youur argument has been directly refuted.
I understand perfectly well. no law exists presuming a woman as a father or a man giving birth to a child. so like I said, your argument has been directly refuted.
In the modern world we have birth parents- the parents that directly contributed the genetic material to create the child- we have surrogate mother- a woman whose womb is rented but contributes no genetic material- and legal parents. Birth parents are most often the legal parents but are not always the legal parents. Legal parents are most often the birth parents but are not always. Legal parents become parents because of the law- Civil Union laws make any children born while they are together their children, just the way adoption laws gives parental rights. Everything else is just bigotry about Gays.
No, Adoption creates legal parents. These statutes in Vermont make two people of the same sex "natural oarents". Presuming that a husband is the natural parent of any child his wife gives birth to, has some foundation in reason in that more than likely he is the natural father. While it is a physical impossibility for two people of the same sex to both be the natural parents. The law presuming what we know to be an impossibility. Crazy!
And she's no more entitled to one than anyone else who has made bad relationship choices and now faces the consequences of them as a legal matter.
§ 308. Presumption of parentage A person alleged to be a parent shall be rebuttably presumed to be the natural parent of a child if:.... (4) the child is born while the husband and wife are legally married to each other. (Added 1989, No. 220 (Adj. Sess.), § 31; 1993, No. 228 (Adj. Sess.), § 13.) She should have been given the chance for a do over to rebut the presumption.
