Who’s allowed to reproduce?

Radical Doula has an important post on the flipside of this debate. As she noted in comments to my previous post on young women being denied tubal ligations,

I think that you will find that for women of color, low income women, or immigrant women, this issue is completely different. Rather than having trouble getting sterilization surgeries, they are being FORCIBLY sterilized.

I completely missed this angle, and really appreciate her bringing it up. Read her whole post here.
