Tennessee county inmates get reduced jail time for getting a vasectomy
CNN ^ | July 20, 2017 | Amanda Jackson

(CNN)Yes, you read that right. Inmates in White County, Tennessee, can shave 30 days off their jail sentence if they undergo an elective birth control procedure.

Both male and female inmates can volunteer for the new program. Women receive a Nexplanon implant in their arm, which provides up to three years of continuous birth control. Men undergo a vasectomy. The procedures are free and conducted by the Tennessee Department of Health.

Eugenics is in fashion again?

Eugenics was based on race. The court program is based on behavior. There is a difference.

If a woman with kids is convicted of a significant crime, or is addicted to drugs, the usual response is to take her kids away and put them into foster care. The judgement is that, based on her demonstrated behavior, she is unfit to fulfill the job of a parent.

It’s only temporary birth control, too. In three-to-five years, she can improve her behavior and standing dramatically. Sadder and wiser from her years in the clink and then on parole, it can be hoped that she will turn her life around and become fit to raise children.

>Doesn’t even make sense to me.

>>Do you think that criminals make good parents?

1) Big diff. between an ‘implant’ and the snip
2) The ‘snip’ has NOTHING to do w/ time served.
3) Depends on the ‘crime’, no. So many damn laws these days, can’t wake up w/o breaking @ least one.

How ‘bout we do this for any/all WELFARE instead? If you can’t support yourself, should one be procreating??

CPS? Sure can’t support OTHERS while committing crime or behind bars either.

Personally, terminate any/all welfare,

It was an offer. Take the snip and get 30 days off your sentence. The offender is not compelled to take the offer.

Personally, I think more than a few of them welcome the idea of avoiding potential future obligations for child support.

Better idea would be to eliminate government welfare. At minimum, peg the benefits so that if you have another kid, your benefits do NOT go up. Ever. Eliminate any program that makes it viable to have kids you cannot support.

Eugenicists believe in eliminating the unfit whatever their color. The Nazis had their own brand and sterilized and murdered rafts of Germans in mental hospitals, queers etc.

It can be called “IQ testing, mental hygiene (health) or any number of other euphemisms. It’s still the same old murderous beast.

Letter to Welfare queens and any wannabes:

You'll receive your next WIC - FOODstamp - and Section 8 payment when you produce PROOF your tubes are tied.

Vasectomies are a bit different than the lopadicoffamies that are an excellent alternative.

...and the burden of providing for them falls on you, me, and other taxpayers.

And just why IS this?

Everyone with half a brain KNOWS you always get MORE of what you subsidize!

A friend had a tubal ligation, and some years later had excruciating pain and ended up at the closest Catholic hospital. She nearly died there. It turned out that she had a tubal pregnancy. She had to be transferred to another hospital which would deal with the at that point miscarriage and to remove an ovary. Scary stuff. I guess tubal ligations sometimes have issues over time.

For the record, White County has only 25,000 people.

Sparta was the home of Lester Flatt. The population is 96% white

Now I understand why it has been so difficult to remove government funding of Planned Barrenhood. And why so many support Obamacare contraceptive freebies. Many FReepers are all for eliminating the offspring of undesirables. I can think of a hundred people who wouldn’t exist if their daddies had had this opportunity when they were young and stupid.
