More Government Fun With Biology

A New York judge has become the latest in a string of jurists to impose conditions restricting the reproductive rights of litigants. In this case, the judge ordered the couple to have no more children until the ones they've already produced are no longer in foster care. While I agree with civil liberties advocates quoted in the article that the order (which has no means of being enforced, the judge recognized) is "blatantly unconstitutional," it's hard to muster a lot of sympathy for a couple who didn't even show up for the hearing.
