The Catholic Church forbids the procedure because "public magistrates have no direct power over the bodies of their subjects. therefore, where no crime has taken place and there is no cause for grave punishment, they can never directly harm or tamper with the integrity of the body, either for reasons of eugenics or for any other reason'

And it’s not any better, morally, if the “public magistrates” pay the “undesirables” to have themselves “voluntarily” sterilized.
