I was browsing the 'net (something I shouldn't be doing since I am at work) and I came across this old article:
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/1999/09/07/MN81261.DTL
In a nutshell, this program paid crack addict women to get long-term birth control or to get their tubes tied in order for the mom to stop having crack-addicted kids who are born with severe health problems.
Some said that they found it harsh because it targeted poor women of 'color. (That is sad that when something like this is mentioned, the first demographic that is sited is 'women of color'.)
What do you think of this? If a politician brought this up, would you support it?
