The Ohio Supreme upheld the right to procreate as a fundamental constitutional right in a case involving a Lorain man. In a 6-1 decision on Dec. 18 the Supreme Court reversed a decision from Ohioâs Ninth District Court of Appeals and ruled it was unconstitutional to legally bar London Chapman from procreating as part of his community control provisions in a 2016 child support case. In a majority opinion authored by Justice Patrick DeWine, the Supreme Court ruled that an order requiring Chapman to âmake all reasonable efforts to avoid impregnating a woman during community controlâ was not reasonably aligned with the goal of prioritizing his financial obligations towards his children.
