The couple has four children, and all four have been place in foster care. The three that were tested for cocaine tested positive. The judge isn't forcing contraception on them or requiring them to get abortions. He did offer them free sterilization, however, and told them if they get pregnant again, they'll both be in contempt of court. The Reproductive Rights Project of the NYCLU has called it unconstitutional. And maybe it is. But I think that if the state is responsible for your children, and it looks like it will continue to be responsible for any more you make, it ought to have some say in whether or not you do have any more. It seems unlikely this ruling will stand up, but maybe it should. Jim _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!
