Wisconsin High Court Orders Man Not to Father Children

A four-man and three-woman Wisconsin high court in this story from Excite News has banned a man from having any more children while he is on probation for not paying $25,000 in child support. The decision was split along gender lines. The three female justices said that the ban denied the man his basic human (and Constitutional) right to father a child. The four male justices said the ban forced the man "to consider responsibility." The female justices and the man's lawyer expressed concern that such action could lead to the trampling of the rights of men who cannot afford child support.
