If a woman’s prison sentence is so long that she would be infertile by the time she is released, then that may impact various constitutional rights. That was my point.
- sidewndr46 4y agoThe judicial system can sentence you to death, which impacts your everything. So you'd have a hard time making an argument that a sentence too long is somehow unconstitutional.
- bdowling 4y agoThe remedy wouldn't be to shorten lengthy sentences, but to allow women to have children while in prison. According to a quick google search, some prisons already allow this, possibly in part because of this issue.
- sidewndr46 4y agoYou're missing the point entirely then. It isn't about whether or not she can legally have children in prison. There are no billionaire heirs dumb enough to have a child with an incarcerated woman. There is at least 1 foolish enough to have a child with a woman with pending charges however.
- bdowling 4y agoWell, he might be foolish to want his kid to have a full sibling. I don't think her being in prison should prevent that.
