Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"In comparison the child's action under Doughty is different in various ways. It is initiated in the district court as any other civil action. Its purpose is to force the putative father to support the illegitimate child. The action is based on the father's obligation to support his children. That obligation extends to legitimate and illegitimate children alike and arises from the public policy of this state.... In such an action paternity has to be established in order to give rise to an obligation to support." 215 Kan. at 452 .”
