Shaping Population Through Forced Female Sterilization
How women and the poor are targets of governmental control
“I never knew what they’d done to me.”
— Carrie Buck
“We want control of our bodies”
Forced sterilization is an act of genocide. The United States has a history of forcing, coercing, and surreptitiously sterilizing women of color for the purpose of reducing the birth rates of certain peoples. There is proof that forced sterilization is an ongoing offense being committed against people of color in the United States today.
It’s not enough to want genocide to not happen again. It’s not even enough to outlaw genocide. We already have that. You can’t just go around killing with the intent of exterminating an entire group of people — yet our government has done so with minimal intervention against it.
The United States still commits genocidal action under the pretense of law and order.
