Judge Orders N.Y. Couple Not to Conceive by Shannon at 4:18 am EDT, May 9, 2004
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) - A couple has been ordered not to conceive any more children until the ones they already have are no longer in foster care A civil liberties advocate said the court ruling unsealed Friday was ``blatantly unconstitutional.'' Monroe County Family Court Judge Marilyn O'Connor ruled March 31 that both parents ``should not have yet another child which must be cared for at public expense.''

Tough call.. Unfortunately, there are no lifeguards in the gene pool and the ones who should breed the least tend to breed the most. This issue certainly shows that not all liberties are necessarily absolute...
