Waggs I know what these guys are harping about. I have heard others say stuff like this before (no I don't agree with it) but I understand why people say it out of ignorance.

Case in point. Take a pregnant woman who is addicted to drugs and gives birth to a baby who is born hooked. People are naturally upset. They say “why do we allow this woman and others like her to do this?”. Well in a perfect world we would not. If we saw a pregnant woman snorting meth (or how ever one does meth) we'd arrest her and put her in jail until the baby comes. If she gives birth to a baby that is born hooked we'd put her in jail until she can't have children or give her the option of drug rehab until she's totally clean. However that is the perfect world. Does not always happen.

So people get upset at seeing babies “born hooked” and say lets sterilize the mother so she can't do this anymore. Well okay that only makes sure no more babies are “born hooked” but meanwhile the mother is till in the back alley shooting up. What about her? Is no one going to help her? Is her life not worth anything? Maybe the best thing for her would be jail or forced into a mental health facility.

Also at this point you must consider that if she is forced into sterilization that opens the door for it to be abused. Such is the case of that “three generations of imbeciles”. That imbeciles was a woman with trisomy 21 who was raped. They sterilized her so if she was raped in the future, and she more than likely was, she would not become pregnant. Have I made my point?
