Wasn't the whole "involuntary sterilization" thing a single woman who had her uterus removed as treatment for cancer? Yes, arguably the doctor should have tried to remove a smaller section of that uterus... But it's not obviously the wrong call from the information I remember.
Had the woman in question not been given surgery, we'd be having a similar discussion about ICE not providing appropriate medical care...
- neilk 6y agoI don't see a particular number cited, but a whistleblower alleges that it occurred so often, a particular doctor was known as "the uterus collector". (Her complaint is largely about failure to follow proper procedures for COVID, and this "uterus collector" thing is not the bulk of her story. Obviously that's a pretty explosive allegation though.) https://www.democracynow.org/2020/9/22/dawn_wooten_ice_forced_sterilization https://www.democracynow.org/2020/9/22/dawn_wooten_ice_force...
- IfOnlyYouKnew 6y agoNo, it was dozens, potentially hundreds.
- DuskStar 6y agoThat was the complaint, but the AP at least was completely unable to substantiate that. At least as of a week ago... https://apnews.com/f2008d23c5f9087f4214d9722dfb097e https://apnews.com/f2008d23c5f9087f4214d9722dfb097e
