As your police help ours, I want to remind you of how you are helping them abuse our young and our poor.
Go home tonight, look in the mirror and repeat "I like supporting agencies that sterilize kids". Will your family will be proud of you, or not?
When you support the Creepy Ones, you are by definition one yourself...
Author and activist Morningstar Mercredi is calling for the criminalization of forced and coerced sterilization, in the hopes that women — especially First Nations, Inuit and Métis women — will never suffer the physical and mental trauma it inflicted upon her.
"I knew that lending my voice to my experience as a survivor was critical and important. Not only for my own process [but also] to let other survivors know that they can come forward. They are not alone," she told White Coat, Black Art host Dr. Brian Goldman.
When Mercredi was 14 years old and in her seventh month of pregnancy, she went to a hospital in Saskatoon after experiencing cramping and spotting. She ended up having a C-section.
What she didn't know, however, was that the surgeon also performed a tubal ligation, removing her left ovary and fallopian tube, without her knowledge or consent.
She didn't find out about it until a visit to a gynecologist decades later, when she was in a relationship and wanted to have children.
