The enormity of government-funded sterilization has been compiled by a masters' student in history, Sally Torpy, at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Her thesis, "Endangered Species: Native American Women's Struggle for Their Reproductive Rights and Racial Identity, 1970s-1990s," which was defended during the summer of 1998, places the sterilization campaign in the context of the "eugenics" movement. No one even today knows exactly how many Native American women were sterilized during the 1970s. One base for calculation is provided by the General Accounting Office, whose study covered only four of twelve IHS regions over four years (1973 through 1976). Within those limits, 3,406 Indian women were sterilized, according to the GAO.

  • the fact that the american public does not know about this is ridiculous... if everyone found out what this government is doing to us..there would be revolution by morning...

  • Forced sterilization was being done in the US and England even before it was done in Hitler's Germany, for different peoples. This is still somewhat surprising given that it was done so long after 1920s-1930s.

  • @carebud So you say that women dont have a freedom of choice whether they want to be sterilized or not? come out of the dark ages. Anyway abortions are Eugenics and cull the population for the Nazis so quit falling for it.

  • hitler was the most evil person who has exist.. maybe the one with more media

  • i'm all for it, i'm mild mentally retarded{MENTALLY CHALLENGED}and i got sterilised when i was 20 years old. i had my parents get me sterilised because i know i'm not capable of raising children myself.

  • @acrovader - ''Most abortion clinics are in the ghetto'' - this was Sanger's intent. This is why Republicans like Rockefeller, Prescott Bush, and Clarence Gamble financed her.

  • I'm all for the forced sterilization of liberal Democrats. However, they seem to be doing a good job of aborting themselves out of civilization.

  • @spinemelter2000 Wow. You are a glittering jewel of colossal ignorance! Why don't you do all of us a favor and blow your brains out.

  • I think any woman that has an abortion for any other reason other than rape or serious health concerns, needs to get her tubes tied.

    And who is it trying to abort the black population? Planned Parenthood. Most abortion clinics are in the ghetto. Margaret Sanger was a huge supporter of eugenics.

  • I can't get my mind around the idea that someone or some group of people could condone this, or anything this warped. Also I dont understand how someone directly involved in this couldn't stop and think 'What the fuck am I doing? What gives me the right to take away someone elses fertility?'. The only thing that does is the law, and the law isn't exactly a moral guide. 4 decades ago the law said a black person couldnt sit up the front of a bus. What makes it right to entitle monsters to do this?

  • i feel for the natives, they've been screwed over a lot over the years, however, i'd like to see more of this forced sterilization... there's too many places to start.... can't pick just one

  • @tigerjonn, oh, people know, they just think it won't happen to them - the bailout didn't even phase them. People play ignorant when it behooves them
