Yes, but playing Devil's advocate - you can argue that these drug addicts/drunks are most likely not in a sober state of mind to make a life-altering decision like being sterilized. They see a quick $200 for more drugs. Of course you can make the counter-arguement that someone who is so willing to throw away arguably their most important bodily function for a quick fix of drugs doesn't deserve the right to procreate in the first place. However, people can change their behavior.

You make the mistake of thinking I care. Drunkeness is no excuse for anything.

I think this is great.
The taxpayers support a junky birth a heck of a lot longer than 2 years. It's a lifetime of being on the welfare books , both medical , criminal , and shrinks.
Plus not having taxpayer paid abortions helps.
Long term birth control doesn't necessarly mean sterilization.
How many addicts really change their behavior anyway? 1%?
