Journalist Ed White wrote for The Associated Press 3 August 2016:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Michigan Supreme Court rejected appeals Wednesday from two lesbians who want parenting time with children who were born to their former partners.
In separate cases, Deanna Mabry and Rola Kolailat sued to be granted the parental rights. They argue that now that gay marriage is legal, they should get the associated benefits retroactively - even if relationships with their partners are over.
The Michigan appeals court, however, ruled against them, saying the women have no rights under state law because they're not the biological mothers and the children weren't born during a marriage.
