Not to be all Negative Nancy on the women's health front but I just found out about an absolutely appalling plan being proposed by a Louisiana State Rep. He is exploring the idea of creating an incentive program that would give $1000 to poor women who agree to have their tubes tied. As if that isn't offensive enough, the plan would also include tax incentives for college-educated, high-income people willing to have more children.
Read about it here and here.
This reminds me a lot of the Project C.R.A.C.K. controversy.

absolutely unbelievable.
Courtesy of my mom: "It's scary to know that there are people like him in government!!"
La Bruzzo trying to use funding to control the masses is old school eugenics. Cyber-eugenics as explained in Bernard Amador’s book Cyber-eugenics: The Neural Code tells how advances in cognitive science and the cracking of the neural code may be the future direction of a modern day eugenics movement where families will no longer have to be paid or women alter their bodies. Technology will be used in conjunction with social engineering to accomplish the eugenic ideal in America.
Just in case it wasn't clear, we are not, in any way, advocating for any kind of eugenics - especially any supposed "ideal".
