I said "I think people have a visceral, innate knowledge that forced sterilization, with or without the benefit of 'due process,' is wrong. It’s repugnant. It just is."

To which you replied:

I did not advocate that.

But you did, in your post number 76, in which you said the following:

I proposed forced sterilization for a particular class of crimes...

I am reading your posts, even the very long one.

Your excerpting is a misconstruction. Here is what I also said:

I am not advocating abortion. I am saying that if what they did was an informed decision, then it was a crime to be adjudicated. If they are found guilty, they should be punished appropriately. I am not proposing depriving their child of parents. I have made that clear in multiple posts on this thread from the beginning. To me, there is a big difference between abortion and forced sterilization. In the latter case, as decided by a judge or jury, it is deprivation of a liberty, true, but it is not killing anybody.
