Wow. That made me sick to my stomach. Does everyone know about the forced sterilization of people in the Appalachians? This was decades ago but that's what it reminded me of. People would come in during non-related medical procedures and sterilize them while they were under to prevent them from having more kids in that environment. They said that this was 'helping' them because they were in such 'terrible' conditions and that they were preventing more children from growing up in this environment. At least something is being done to bring attention to this and maybe it will stop. They had to ask me when students wanted to sit in on my hysterosonogram and I allowed them to but if I were laying there and looked up to see a dozen people staring at me while I'm having this procedure...I would be FURIOUS!!!!
