Yes, and among the "crimes" for which you advocate sterilization is the POTENTIAL for a baby having certain genetic characteristics which you disapprove of or for two people whose child MIGHT have a genetic condition which some might consider undesirable.
Just curious, will there be some sort of commission that determines which traits are "undesirable"? Will they all have blonde hair and blue eyes or will some "lesser" types be thrown in for good measure?
It is a penalty for a crime already committed, one that is appropriate to the crime and focuses limited resources on the kid that is already here.

It is obvious to a physician when a child has fetal alcohol syndrome. I am certain that a second or third opinion would not be difficult; they have plenty of time for observation in the NICU at $50,000 per day and goodness knows how much over that child's lifetime. It is obvious when two people with cystic fibrosis have a child and had been counseled against doing it in their medical chart. It is obvious when a crack baby shows drugs in their blood. At that point, charges should be filed. Should they be found guilty, such is the penalty. It beats putting them in jail for a crime that, considering its magnitude, should otherwise have them incarcerated for a very long time. Would you prefer that?
Stick your projected NAZI fantasies where they belong. Your covetousness of other people's money with which to fund your breast-beating is more than evident.
