Should father's name be listed on daughter's birth certificate?

Simple biology tells us that it takes a man and a woman to create a child.  But junk social  science says two women can birth a baby:

WQAD reports:

A married same-sex Iowa couple has petitioned the state supreme court to hear their arguments that both of their names should be on their baby’s birth certificate. 

Heather and Melissa Gartner say the Iowa Department of Health refused to allow Melissa to be listed on their daughter’s birth certificate because she is not the child’s biological parent. 

Where is the dad and why is he excluded from this girl's birth certificate and from her entire life?

Why do some factions consider it "equality" to purposely deprive children of their fathers?

Gender matters.
