Eugenics and Unwanted Sterilization in the United States

[Averageman]

Coerced sterilization is a shameful part of America’s history, and one doesn’t have to go too far back to find examples of it. Used as a means of controlling “undesirable” populations – immigrants, people of color, poor people, unmarried mothers, the disabled, the mentally ill – federally-funded sterilization programs took place in 32 states throughout the 20th century. Driven by prejudiced notions of science and social control, these programs informed policies on immigration and segregation.

Interesting read.

Make it simple, no welfare without sterilization.

I see no issues. Can't take care of yourself? Ok then how are you going to care for children?

Add.. after 2 children no more earn income tax credit and no welfare if you cannot pass a drug test.

I dont know how true this is, but I hearsome country gives you x $ if you have a kid and need financial support.
If you have a second kid, the funding is cut in half or something to that effect. Semms like a step in the right direction from where we are.

No “aid for children” without Norplant. That seems reasonable.

Some people have to hit hard times before they improve their decision making. I wouldn’t want someone permanently punished for what may be, hopefully, a temporary setback.

You're right, we should just end all welfare, every last tax supported social program. If you fall down into hard times then let the good community or your bible based church help you back on your feet. If no one helps you, then it's likely for good reason.

You mean similar to how it was done prior to the Great Depression?

There are absolutely some out there who should not be allowed to breed.
