Judge orders Deadbeat Dad with 9 kids to stop having children

[Jeebus]

“It’s too bad the court doesn’t have the authority to sterilize,” said Racine County Circuit Court Judge Tim Boyle to the Journal Times.

Corey Curtis, a father of nine children, was ordered by a judge on Monday to stop ”compulsively procreating” unless he can pay the $90,000 of child support he owes.

Boyle, as part of Curtis’ three-year probation, has prohibited the 44 year-old father from having any more children until he can prove he can financially provide for them.

Curtis’s nine children were fathered with six different women.

Of course, the outrage will be directed at the judge for his (illegal?) court order, rather than at the deadbeat scumbag for recklessly procreating and avoiding responsibility for his own actions.

Such behavior is a combination of genetics and culture. No one seems interested in changing the cultural aspects that contribute to unmarried couples and dead beat dads.

Indeed.

That just my baby daddy.

Perhaps he should take a trip to Maury and see if some of them aren't his, like this guy did:

It's clearly a cultural issue. Do you care to explain how it's a genetic issue?

Obviously the guy's a dirtball, and nobody is going to defend him.

However, the judge not w/i his rights to rule as he did.

I'm surprised such a freedom living pro-life patriot as yourself isn't outraged at Big Government telling people how and when they can procreate.

But if he was a gun owner who'd mistakenly shot someone, and was ordered to turn in his weapons, I'm sure you'd be on the front lines supporting him.

Funny how that works.

Genetics?

Not being married has nothing to do with providing for your children. My 2 college graduate sons can attest to that fact

Pro-life? Me?

Try again, Kreskin.

I support abortion on demand for anyone and everyone who wants one.

You may want to improve your reading comprehension a bit, as I noted in parenthesis (those little half circle symbols, you know?) that his order may be illegal.

Add in free and I'm there.

If abortions were not only on demand but free then he may have one or more nonexistent children at this point for the bargain price for at taxpayer-sponsored abortion instead of possibly paying for caring for them for 70 years.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court has upheld it. But I doubt SCOTUS would concur. The right to procreate is a basic human right and fundamental Constitutional right. So strict scrutiny would apply. So the state would have to prove that this is the least restrictive way to achieve a compelling state interest.

I would say that statistically the two are related

Good luck with that. Most people can't see beyond the minor expense incurred "in the now."

Yes, it's too bad the government can't sterilize undesirables.

[Grindelwald]

So it's ok for the government to tell you how many kids you can have but not guns? LOL.

Please tell me what laws are on the books that tell women how many children they can have?

Exceptions tend to be so because they don't get the press

I think a better approach to subsidizing abortion would be subsidizing contraceptive and making sure kids know how to use it. There's a reason we don't see these issues come up in other developed countries and it's that there aren't nearly so many unplanned pregnancies in the first place.

Those numbers in other countries is culture. Muslims aren't allowed to sleep around. China has laws. Just those two populations are a huge percentage of the world
