"..a history in which more than 20,000 incarcerated people — largely women — underwent involuntary sterilization procedures. The bulk were survivors of a eugenics program in the early 20th century, but hundreds more, including Pulido, were forcibly sterilized in more recent decades, often a result of medical provider bias against incarcerated people...Black women and Latinas made up a disproportionate share of those harmed."

Jezebel: Sex. Celebrity. Politics. With Teeth: Class Action Suit Alleges Quebec Hospitals Sterilized Indigenous Women Without Consent https://jezebel.com/class-action-suit-alleges-quebec-hospitals-sterilized-i-1850771350?utm_source=regular #Jezebel #eugenicsintheunitedstates #compulsorysterilization #quebecssuperiorcourt #reproductiverights #informedconsent #lukaszgranosik #sterilization #birthcontrol #nomasbebes

So what about the accusation that young immigrant women in #Mayotte (island in the Indian Ocean) will be invited to undergo #sterilization by French officials?

"We're going to offer young mothers sterilization, in other words we'll offer them to ligate their tubes,” says Olivier Brahic, director of the Agence Régionale de Santé de Mayotte.
He also mentions developing access to condoms and refutes the widespread idea in Mayotte according to which priority would be given to patients coming from #immigration.

BUT: History is not only full of examples where sterilization was compulsory and forced by states on specific groups because of racism and eugenics. In other examples, consent was officially "obtained" and the countries claimed the OP was done voluntary, BUT they targeted specific groups (for instance disabled, indigenous and Romani people).

This online lesson takes a closer look at the story of different medical experiments conducted at the Auschwitz camp, including mass sterilization of men and women, heredity research by Dr. Josef Mengele, and the effects of the starvation disease, and the testing of new drugs: http://lekcja.auschwitz.org/2022_medycyna_en/

28 December 1942 | Prof. Carl Clauberg began his experiments on female prisoners at Auschwitz to develop a non-surgical mass sterilization method.

He made sure that the Fallopian tubes were open & introduced a specially prepared chemical irritant, which caused acute inflammation. This led to the growing together of the tubes & their obstruction.

The use of forced #sterilization of #Indigenous women in Québec from 1980 to 2019 is recounted in a report by Prof. Suzy Basile. “This research project is being undertaken two years after the #Quebec government refused to participate in the federal working group on forced sterilization of Indigenous women in Canada.”

I've seen a few people bring up the #coloradosprings shooter's familial relationship with GOP member Randy Voepel, fair enough, call out obvious connections and cronyism when you see it.

However, I've seen a few comments on some platforms that are implying or outright saying that evil is genetic. The idea that evil is genetic has been used to justify #genocide and forced #sterilization of scapegoats and minorities.

The individual is responsible for his own actions.
