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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Insofar as the contention that paternity is an element is concerned, we agree with appellant that it is. Surely the legislature never intended [the statute] to require a man to support any one else’s children. The very language of the statute confirms this when it states 0 * or if any man or woman shall, without good cause * refuse to provide 9 for his or her child or children * ” *.’ ” (Emphasis added.)”
