In the critically racist, unethical world and country we
live in, there is no surprise of the amount of idiocentric beliefs and hatred
for those that are not the “supreme race or sex”. In the 20
th century,
this was no exception for the unfortunate women who were put in “federally-funded
sterilization programs” used to limit the amount of “undesirable” populations
(pbs). This included “immigrants, people of color, poor people, unmarried
mothers, the disabled, the mentally ill” (pbs). This means that this “treatment”
was not only on women, but men and children as well. While some people have
seen this as a means of strengthening the human population, others have seen it
as a “Hilter” ideology. That is why laws have been passed prohibiting this
unlawful method. In 2015, an act was passed to assist those who were forced to
the sterilization programs. (pbs)
