I don't see it as racist, because it does not really target a certain race.
I am assuming that it would be a program offered to ALL poor mothers on welfare, not just those of a certain race.

Paying poor women to undergo sterilization? Wow... this is wrong on so many levels.


I don't agree with it. It is one thing to offer free sterilization but to PAY a poor person to do it? That is manipulation at its finest and it is DEAD WRONG! If I am poor and you offer me enough money to do anything, I'll do it for the money!


JUST WRONG!

I don't agree with paying poor people to sterilize. How about offering free sterilization to those who want it. Or teaching birth control and offering that for free. And what if they get off of welfare and want to have more kids. I could go on. I'm against it.

Racist? Really? Every poor, unwed, uneducated mom on assistance that I have known, without exception, was white.

I think this could/should be offered as an option.

I have to agree with the others on this Adrianne, I am uncertain as to how this is racist.
