Gay parents battle 'the Iowa anomaly' - 0 views

Jeremy Vogel on 05 Mar 13"In Iowa, gay couples have been able to get legally married since 2009, when the state's supreme court upheld a lower court ruling striking down a gay marriage ban. But the Iowa Department of Public Health has refused to grant birth certificates that list both spouses in a gay marriage as the legal parents of newborn children. That decision has left families in legal limbo, and it led to a lawsuit that has thrust the gay rights debate right back to the state's supreme court." I'm interested in hearing what the Iowa Supreme Court says about this. I also wonder how the three new justices will vote. This is the first major issue concerning gay marriage after three Iowa Supreme Court Justices lost their positions in 2010 and were replaced.
