``I don't know of any precedent that would permit a judge to do this,'' Anna Schissel, staff attorney for the Reproductive Rights Project of the New York Civil Liberties Union, told the Democrat and Chronicle of Rochester. ``And even if there were a precedent, it would be blatantly unconstitutional because it violates the United States Constitution and the New York Constitution.''

Perhaps Ms. Schissel can tell us just where in the U.S. Constitution and/or the New York Constitution it says that people are entitled to reproduce beyond their means and expect the rest of us to pay for them shooting out kids like a defective salad shooter?

On one hand I agree with what you are saying, however, in some ways the precedent this sets reminds me of the ChiComs to force couples to limit their offspring to one child. I know this is a case of the couple being irresponsible, but it is unsettling anyways.

I'll be happy to answer your question; just as soon as you tell me where it is written in the Constitution that government is supposed to take care of the children of poor parents in the first place. When the Constitution was written just about every American was poor, and most American married couples had several (or more) children. Would you have us be like Communist China, who regulate the size of families?
