In theory we could use food stamps to force people to do things on pain of starvation, but in practice we just do a little bit of drug testing sometimes. Meanwhile, the problems caused by unwanted babies are huge. If we could enact mass sterilization to reverse mass incarceration, the poor and ethnic would be better off even if they did face some discrimination in restoring reproductive access. Not to mention how much better everyone's sex life would be without worrying about kids.
- thehardsphere 10y agoHow about instead of creating this dystopian hellscape where we make foodstamp recipients be sterilized, we simply reform the current welfare system so it stops trapping them in poverty and paying them to have more children? Jesus. It's like some of you sit there and say "the status quo is horrific; let's just add a pinch more horror and everything will be swell."
