An Arkansas law says a married woman's husband will automatically be listed as the second parent. Not so for same-sex couples.
Even after Obergefell, Arkansas is seeking to uphold this law. Same-sex couples are challenging it, asking SCOTUS to review it.
Here's the @SCOTUSblog page on the case; we've been waiting to hear from the court about what it is going to do:http://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/pavan-v-smith/ …
I would not be surprised if we get a summary reversal, striking down the differential treatment under Obergefell. We'll see.
Court would have to take the case first. That's what we are awaiting a decision on.
No, summary reversal comes from a cert petition.
Hah! Actually, the interesting word choice is "both mothers"!
! Oh, wow. I hadn't even realized it was MORE on point than I thought !
I think he's saying he wants to protect forced motherhood
Why is it interesting? Curious.
