Sterilize bad parents?

In this article A South carolina councilwoman is shocked that a family of young children is arrested for trying to hold up a video store. She suggests that the bad crackhead parents should be sterilized so they do not dump their ill raised progeny upon our civilization.

I can't say I disagree with her thinking. I have seen the orphanages and the institutions first hand. I have seen children shaken until their brains were mush and kids beaten so badly that they are permanently disabled. My adopted son was born with heroin and cocaine in his system and had to spend his first 5 days of his life screaming through withdrawl symptoms.

The worst thing is, these fucked up mothers just go get pregnant again, do drugs, drink and then abandon these kids to the streets or into the overloaded child welfare system.

I found out later that my son had 5 severely drug affected and disabled biological siblings that were living with 22 other people in a one bedroom apartment.

I know the ACLU and every other nut bag "human rights" organization would scream "eugenics"or "genocide for poor minorities" if we actually passed a sterilization law for unfit mothers.

Heck, why not sterilize those unfit abusive druggie fathers that dump their vile seed into any receptacle.

Back about 15 years ago in Austin Texas, a wealthy civic minded woman saw a problem with drug addicted mothers having multiple babies . She took it upon herself to go to these women and offer them $1500 each to get norplant which would prevent these women from getting pregnant for up to 5 years.

Most of these women jumped at the chance to get a quick $1500. Win win situation right?

Wrong. the civic minded lady was sued by the ACLU for denying women their reproductive rights. A liberal Austin judge decided that it was forced sterilization because there was no way a drug addicted, mother of 5 would be able to refuse that kind of money.

So here we are: foster homes are overloaded and poorly supervised, hundreds of kids are put into the Child protection system in my city each month, kids are dying from abuse and these baby factories keep cranking them out one after another.

If the state would offer a couple thousand in cash to any woman in the system to get the norplant birth control, our society could be spared these horrors.

Too bad we can not make sterilization temporary and not drug based (e.g. a simple out patient procedure). ACLU be damned, but I say too many drug convictions, you get sterilized until you get cleaned up. Giving birth to a drug abused baby should be child abuse.

That subject just caused a heated debate between Jose and I. I think that it should be okay to offer free sterilization to people who can't afford it (or drug addicts). That way the ACLU can't say these people are being enticed by money. I think it will help reduce the amount of drug babies, unwanted babies, and babies that people can't afford to take care of. Jose thinks that the sterilization shouldn't be offered and that it is inhumane. He thinks we should just make stiffer laws for the drug addicts.

So there you have it two different opinions from one household. Now I have to go beotch slap Jose...j/k

I can see where Jose is coming from, however I don't see a crackhead who buys drugs with the grocery money being enticed into outpatient surgery without some kind of compensation.

Some of these people have children for the welfare and foodstamp benefits.

I personally know one meth head relative with four kids from 4 fathers who sells her $800 monthly food stamps for 50 cents on the dollar. She uses the money for drugs.

zzzzzzzzzzzzz.... from the above comment...

living in singapore i realised that my government has protected its people so much that we are missing out on a lot of things. sometimes i don't know if it is a blessing. we are so well sheltered and cared for that, seriously, a lot of topics i read in bloggers open up my eyes.

in Singapore if u are known to be a drug abuser, u will be going straight to jail. if u traffic drugs for more than 5 grams (not too sure if it is still this amount), it is immediate death sentence.

i really feel sorry for newborns who have to suffer because of the parents mistake. it wasnt even their fault, yet they are brought to the earth to suffer, even the 1st day they were born.

The problem with guaranteeing everyone certain rights is that typically someone has to suffer for it. Reproductive rights typically means that kids end up paying the price. I'm not too keen on strict drug laws (and the Singapore laws are horrifying to me), but then you see what happens in these instances...

The ACLU made a poor move on stopping that woman from paying people to be sterilized. It's not violating your rights if you make a conscious choice to do something for money, so that's effing absurd.

I don't know what the proper solution to the problem is just yet. Increased governmental intervention without fixing other problems first is a slippery slope and something I'd rather not see happen. The solution is something that would require great societal change overall. We'd have to reform the prison system and offer more options for rehabilitation, because as we continue to learn, making more things illegal solves nothing.

I was told that if I preached this policy, which I firmly believe in, I would be locked up as crazy. It seems I'm not crazy at all.

i remember this case
the woman was branded a racist
until it came out that she was married to a black man and
had bi-racial and adopted children.
