Court order?

http://news.excite.com/news/r/010711/08/odd-children-dc

From the article:

'Dissenting Judge Ann Bradley said the sentence violated the "basic human
right" to have children.'

Wasn't aware of such a right.

I am, if we share an understanding of what "basic" means. Even if we do not,
there is this : Universal Declaration of Human Rights - Article 16. (I
expect Duane will contest both. ;/)


For the benifit of other readers:
http://www.un.org/Overview/rights.html

Article 16.
(1) Men and women of full age, without any limitation due to race,
nationality or religion, have the right to marry and to found a family. They
are entitled to equal rights as to marriage, during marriage and at its
dissolution.

When one read this again it looks rather quaint: "have the right to marry
and to found a family". Although I am sure/hope it is not intended today,
but it implies that marriage should come before having children.


I had typed out a whole paragraph arguing exactly that point, but thought it
was vague enough that I let it be. Besides, I didn't want to prove your
statement about me above to be true. :-)
