It's perfectly legal for the Judge to offer her a deal, jail or sterilization

150 years ago it was perfectly legal to own a human being.

What next - will we offer thieves a choice between having a hand cut off or jail time?

If she murdered a child she belongs in prison or on the gallows.

And why would I want this woman, sterilized or not, running around free in the streets near my children as a result of some deal with a sadistic judge who likes to play God?

Have you read any of my replies? I never suggested I agree with the judge. I only responded to your question as to whether or not his sentence is legal. I explained how his sentence could be legal. I never agreed with him.

It would help if people who want to write could spend a bit of time reading, carefully
