Tennessee prosecutors require sterilization as part of plea deals

Sterilization should be a requirement to get an EBT card.

Attorneys say sterilizations were part of plea deal talks - Nation - The Boston Globe

Nashville prosecutors have made sterilization of women part of plea negotiations at least four times in the past five years, and the district attorney has banned his staff from using the invasive surgery as a bargaining chip after the latest case.

In the most recent case, first reported by The Tennessean, a woman with a 20-year history of mental illness had been charged with neglect after her 5-day-old baby died mysteriously. Her defense attorney says the prosecutor assigned to the case wouldn’t go forward with a plea deal to keep the woman out of prison unless she had the surgery.

Defense attorneys say there have been at least three similar cases in the past five years, suggesting the practice may not be as rare as people think and may happen more often outside the public view and without the blessing of a court.

Poor people shouldn't have kids. And with the ready availability of contraception and abortion, there is no excuse for them doing so. If they do and want welfare, then give them the knife.

An old but still excellent idea whose time will come.

There are already more than enough parasites and idiots.

You live in the real world, SS, not in a pretend one. No one cares what you think.
