'Small Government' GOP Vice Chair: I Would Sterilize Poor Women On Medicaid

[Vic]

If they won't choose birth control to receive benefits, then doesn't that mean that they intend to have more children? Children that they will not be able to care for, because they can't even provide for the ones they already have? Is that really what we want to encourage?

People don't have to be encouraged into having sex.

 

[TheSlamma]

What leads you to think that people have that motivation?

POW's have been around for a long long long long long time man, it's well known. hell at my last house I had 2 of em just on my block and both of them pumped out units like mad. One got busted for having a man in the house too.

Its called norplant dumbass. Unless you think women are going to start cutting open their flesh it seems pretty enforceable.

Norplant has not been available in this country since 2004, and production ceased in 2008.

The first big city to aggressively promote the use of Norplant was Baltimore.[22] Baltimore targeted teenagers because the birthrate was three times higher than other states. In Baltimore, about ten percent of girls between ages 15 and 17 gave birth during 1990. Young mothers would often drop out of school and struggle to raise the child in poverty.[27] The mayor at the time, Kurt Schmoke, pushed for laws that would give teen girls more access to Norplant. Norplant was eventually given to teen girls at schools without parental consent. Programs were designed for, and performed in, predominantly black schools. Laurence G. Paquin Middle School became the first school to provide Norplant to their students.[22] Paquin Middle School had 355 female students but only 5 of them were not Black. Their program started off as a pilot program and soon other urban high schools like San Fernando High School in Los Angeles and Crane High School in Chicago’s West Side adopted the program of providing Norplant to their students. Because of a focus on predominantly Black schools, questions of racism arose amongst Black community leaders

Lol. Helping keep black teenage girls from getting pregnant is racist

If only there was a way to have sex and not have children :hmm:

Yeh, duh-vert away from your own bullshit. Now that you can't advocate forcing norplant on women, what would you propose as enforcement for mandatory birth control?

 

[soulcougher73]

How would you enforce this? Talk about creepy.

When i make them come pick up there checks i inject them with BC before they get it. Duh.

And at the same time i will give them their weekly alotment of food stuffs.

Im an animal. Id have this fiscal issue solved in no time.

Oh, so your solution to the fiscal issue is one that:

1. Is blatantly unconstitutional

And

2. Would require not only a huge increase in administrative personnel to handle everyone personally coming in, would require far flung infrastructure to serve everyone, but would require the state to cover medical office visit costs for every recipient on a continuing basis. All if which would cost way way way more to implement than any savings you would get.

This seems like a well thought out plan.

Come on guys, think things through.

Pssttttt -- he was being sarcastic.

Still troubling that people like this keep making it into positions of significant influence in the GOP. Gotta love that Tea Party, takin' back 'Murica!

That's gone, too, replaced by nexplanon-

The whole thing is a bullshit argument anyway. Libs def won't support anything mandatory and many conservatives don't want people to even know about birth control (witness abstinence only programs).

Even the conservative brain has trouble reconciling that sort of guided ignorance with the concept of mandatory birth control for welfare recipients.

"You remember all that birth control stuff we didn't teach you in high school, honey? Like last year? Of course not, because we didn't teach you that. We withheld the information, cuz, Values!, or sumpin'. That abortion you considered? Hey, we stopped that too. Now that you've been pumped, dumped, have a newborn & have applied for welfare, you're gonna have to get with the program, or else! We won't pay for any more babies!"

Compassionate Conservatives can praise Jesus for havin' it both ways, huh?
