PCFJ Celebrates Supreme Court Decision Affirming Parentage by Intent

Via press release on Monday, April 7, 2025, the Commission celebrated the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania’s landmark ruling in Glover v. Junior, issued on March 20, 2025, which supports a legal recognition of parentage based on the clear intent to bring a child into the world.

The ruling offers much-needed clarity, ensuring that families formed through assisted reproductive technology (ART), including LGBTQ+ families, are on equal footing with families who conceive unassisted. By recognizing that inent – not just biology or traditional structures – can define parenthood, the Court protects children and affirms the dignity of all familes in Pennsylvania.

The Commission is honored to have supported this landmark ruling!
