Asshole of the day

A judge in Missouri ordered a woman not to have any children out of wedlock while on probation. Yeah.

“I was shocked,” Nelson said. “I only have three kids. He made it seem like I was just having kids, kids, kids.”
…[Mandy] Nelson told the judge that she had undergone surgery to close her fallopian tubes after her third son was born two years ago.
But [Judge Daniel] Kellogg replied, “Frankly, nothing is 100 percent.”

And for this, he is the asshole of the day.
Another interesting piece of info:

In a case such as Nelson’s, an officer would report to the court only if she gave birth to a child out of wedlock, Hauswirth said. The pregnancy by itself wouldn’t be in violation.

So she would have to get an abortion as to not violate her probation? Nice.
