There is nothing the state of North Carolina can do, Elaine Riddick says, to make up for forcing her to be sterilized when she was 14 years old.
"They cut me open like I was a hog," the woman who now lives in Atlanta said at a Wednesday hearing in Raleigh held by a panel working to determine compensation for thousands of victims of the state's defunct eugenics program. "My heart bleeds every single day. I'm crushed. What can they do for me?"
Riddick, 57, was one of 13 people who spoke at the meeting, and one of nearly 3,000 living victims of the program, which was shuttered in 1977, three years after the last sterilization was performed. The public hearing is part of a process unprecedented not just in North Carolina, but nationally. About a half dozen other states have joined North Carolina in apologizing for past eugenics programs, but none of the others have put together a plan to compensate victims of involuntary sterilization.
"It's hard for me to accept or understand or even try to figure out why these kinds of atrocious acts could be carried out in this country," said Gov. Beverly Perdue, who appointed the Eugenics Task Force that convened Wednesday's hearing.
Any plan that involves financial compensation will be a hard sell, though, in a year when the state budget includes deep cuts to numerous programs. The General Assembly passed the $19.7 billion spending plan over Perdue's veto. Bills in the legislature aimed at providing specific financial and medical compensation for victims have stalled.
"We've made some baby steps, but as we get closer to the big one, there's some pushback," said state Rep. Larry Womble, D-Forsyth, the lawmaker who's been most active on the issue.

Because they have a right to life, but they do not have the right to ruin it for the rest of us with their mindless excretions!
I'm pretty sure that's the definition of a eugenicist. They are the stupid people they think should be eliminated.
Thank you for sharing your mindless excretions. Now, would you mind answering my question?
Such a Darwinist/elitist mindset is also the basis for justifying abortion, which is exactly what we are discussing here -
some humans are more worthy of living than others.
If you have a Biblical/Creationist view of humankind, you’ll assume that all human life is valuable due to being made “imageo dei”.
Wow, what do you mean by excretions?? You’re calling a possible child an “excretion”?? Just because he/she came from a “undesirable”?
Hitler and Margaret Sanger would be proud of you!
In case you’ve forgotten:
Would you issue exemptions from your forced sterilization program to disabled vets with traumatic brain injuries, or should they be treated like all the other “retards?” Would Trig Palin be allowed an exemption, even though he is exactly the type person you’re targeting?
Spoken like a true egotist. I say you have no value to society as you are incapable of properly assessing someones value to society. There is no place for a person that is close-minded. They cannot and do not learn.
I know it is scarey.Even though I chose not to have kids of my own because I am a type 1 diabetic and knew that I could pass it along it is terrifying to think that someone would’e thoguht they had the right to take that decision away from me because of it.Where is the line drawn.If there is diese in yoru family of any sorts would that put all of you and your’s in line to be sterlized think about it.Think about it has a relative had a heart attack or cancer?How about Alzheimer’s or high blood pressure? Who gets to decide where the line is drawn?
Likely. Very likely.
People with such a rigid mind set are useless as they are incapable of learning. Their ego and own view of their self worth does not allow them to change an opinion no matter the information they are given. So they remain rigid and ignorant.
Or we can go back to the old ways, and fire up the ovens.
That about sums up the entire left/elite-country club types, though I would also add hate. Hatred of God, life, and all things decent because they are inconvenient to them and their love of money,perversions etc.
Don’t say you weren’t warned.
zot
There you go! They think they are the “elite” when they really are as dumb as a box of rocks and clueless to boot.
I sadly agree. Anything to save their precious tax dollars.
Well, obviously those people who can get 50.01% of the vote!
By doing so, they've proven (as long as they are "liberals") that they are elite and capable of making those decisions.
I don’t understand your reply to my comment. Did you mean to include my name as an addressee?
I thought I made it clear that forced sterilization is nearly always WRONG. The additional point I tried to make is that sometimes it takes people a while to properly figure out what is good and what is evil; good and evil don’t change, but our understanding may. Remember the Paul and Tarsus thing?
Unfortunately, some really disgusting Democrats are now trying to open old wounds and use the pain to further their cause.
PING! Almost forgot you!
