Is having children a right?

Court to Hear Case of Man Barred From Having More Children

The Associated Press

A K R O N, Ohio, Dec. 23— The Ohio Supreme Court will review the case of a man who was ordered by a judge to avoid fathering children for five years.

Medina County Common Pleas Judge James L. Kimbler issued the no-procreation order to Sean Talty in September 2002 as part of his sentence on a felony conviction for failing to pay support to three of his seven children.

In June, the 9th District Court of Appeals in Akron upheld Kimbler's order in a unanimous three-judge opinion stating that it was constitutional because it was related to Talty's rehabilitation.

The state's Supreme Court has voted 5-2 to review the case.

Personally, I don't think that the Supreme Court will uphold the decision, but you have to admit, it does make sense. If this guy can't take care of the 7 kids he already has, he shouldn't be going around making more.
