Fascism, California style...

Ok, so I am no investigative reporter, but this information comes from a source that is indeed reliable. Let me ask you... on how many levels is the following just plain wrong?

Woman A is Mexican.
Woman A has one known child.
Child of woman A has severe mental problems.
Woman A is an "illegal" resident of the state.
Woman A lives in a private shelter that also receives state funds.
Woman A receives court order from the State of California requiring her to present herself a Hospital X.
At hospital X she is informed that she must undergo a tubal ligation.
Woman A concedes to tubal ligation.
State of California pays for procedure.
Woman A's myriad social workers don't tell her that she cannot be forced to undergo such procedure.


This reeks of the mass sterilization campaign perpetrated on Puerto Rican women in the fifties by US military.

I'm livid. When will the state get their hands out of our vaginas???
