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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““The entitlement there spoken of refers, in a general way, to the initial and inherent right which, by nature, as well as historically and legally, a natural parent has always had to the custody of his or her children. In this connection, see Bishop v. Benear, 132 Okl. 116 , 270 P. 569 , 1st syl. One ‘who is entitled’ to such custody, as the parent there described, means a parent who has not forfeited that right or lost it by a court order terminating it, under one of the Law’s provisions preceding Section 1130, or any other law providing for the permanent dissolution of such right.””
