The Prosecutor’s Office of Padova (Italy) has asked a local court to remove any same-sex non-biological parent on birth certificates, denying same-sex families the right to State recognition.
I imagine you think this because of medical things (heredity and all that)
AFAIK It isn’t used for such things, only for legal responsibility (adoption for instance would modify it), so in order to protect the position of those who actually raise the kid and the stability of their family, I don’t agree with you. Not without changing the role of the birth certificate first at least
If they cared about that, they would make a law that forces all newborns and their ‘parents’ to submit to a DNA test before issuing a certificate. This is just being done to make it harder for LGBTQ+ parents to have the same rights and responsibilities as straight parents. Not being named on your kid’s birth certificate makes things so much harder when dealing with government programs and even enrolling in school or taking them to the doctor.
Mine does not, it shows my parents who have legal custody over me, they are not lgbtq+. That is what a birth cert shows, the people who have legal custody and responsibility for you.
On a BIRTH certificate? No! That will only lead to a lot of problems in the future for the unlucky kid. Imagine kid’s bio parents have some hereditary disease and without them on a BIRTH certificate doctors will never know. No. Just no.
Exactly. When a family is going to travel and the only ID a young child has so far is their birth certificate not having the parents names on it presents some large problems. Imagine they are going through some form of security check, maybe at a border or maybe in a hospital after an injury, how does having someone other than parents names help? All that serves is to create a situation in which the family can be pulled apart. Even parents that got married but kept their own last names have this to consider when a child takes the dad’s last name but the mom wants to travel with her kids and they don’t share the same last name. Having the full form birth certificate identifies that everyone is who they say they are and supposed to be together.
Maybe I’m against the grain here but shouldn’t biological parents be on the birth certificate?

They definitely should.

I think the term “birth certificate” needs to be renamed
