Unfortunately, some self-proclaimed conservatives would like this to be brought back.

There are now more sophisticated methods to arrive at the same result. For example, sex ed in public schools.
To: wagglebee
There are many adult men and women who project lust onto preteen girls. I’m sure the board was made up of jealous women and sex crazed men. Those who did this need and deserve all the love we reserve for child molesters. Laws need to be put on the books for these crimes. I would like to see these people be given life without parole and hard labor. Their assets should also be confiscated. Even that would not serve justice. It would only be a deterrent to those who are stupid and heartless enough to follow in the footsteps of those eugenicists. Only God can give eugenicists justice.

"Unfortunately, some self-proclaimed conservatives would like this to be brought back." Then name them, if they don't exist mainly in your head.

Authoritarianism. Then with an active, official eugenics program, and now with passive dysgenics (welfare/nanny-state). And in one of the few areas in which the government should be stronger (
protecting the LIFE and LIBERTY of INDIVIDUALS from violence and coercion), its weakness makes it complicit in an unofficial eugenics program - one which has claimed tens of millions of innocent human lives.
For all our fears of some external barbaric enemy, history teaches us that the greatest atrocities wrt to human life occur at the hands of internal governments - eugenics, the Nazi holocaust, politically-motivated mass-starvation in Russia and China, the various communist purges and gulag systems, and the abortion industry, among countless others. Keep that in mind at the ballot box - an advanced people are almost universally destroyed from within.

Read some of the threads dealing with eugenics.
There are actually people who claim they are conservative and support this sort of socialist tripe.
I hope they are just trolls.

In 1973 the liberals got Roe v. Wade and didn’t need sterilizations any longer.

Who were the people who supported Terri Schiavo’s right to live? I don’t remember seeing any liberals there except Jesse Jackson. If you cannot name conservatives who support forced sterilizations, then don’t make broad generalizations. I can name dozens of conservatives who openly support the right to life. Unfortunately, there are not many liberals I can name. Anyone care to help?

If the public has to pay for the delivery, and life time support, yes. The current system is a free for all taxpayer give away.
If you are a ward of the state (IE free medical and or welfare recipient) you should be treated as such.
Let em have 1. The sterelization should be reversible, so when and if the ward of the state can afford to reverse it, they should be able to provide for their own progeny.
Or we could just "donate" our entire GDP to the third world and become them.

I'm not heartless. Let them procreat once. Then both parents prevented from adding to the burden on society.
What was done in the previous situation was barbaric. What is happening now leads us to barbarism.

Anyone no matter how smart can become a burden. We are supposed to help each other through difficult times. I’m surprised you can’t see how such a nanny state program would be abused.
