Okay, fair enough. My debate lies in the following comment:
That's not entirely true, the judge simply suspended their 'privilege' to procreating via court order - I don't recall procreation being an explicit entrenched right, see here. The couple most certainly can procreate if they wish and, if they do, will be held accountable to the court - keep in mind that a punishment has not been handed down.......yet! When and if the couple decides to disobey the court order then, and only then, can we engage in a debate about the couples rights and/or liberties, if they have any with regards to procreation.
At present, I would argue that a persons right to 'liberty' may be infringed due to the burden placed on them [society] to care for the couples children.
In a warm and fuzzy kinda world we wouldn't have this situation, everyone would rise to the occasion and care for those kids without objection but, we don't live in a warm and fuzzy kinda world - we live in a world infested with fuq-ups. How do we deal with fuq-ups? The same way the judge in this case did, slap them upside the head and tell them to get their act together.
This means that the judge was wrong to remove their reproductive rights.
