Just When I Thought We Left 1943...
Seems we haven't. It seems this is the year that just keeps on giving.
The Year Of The Fuckery.
Today, over on Reddit, the common WTF news thread is about ICE sending incarcerated and detained immigrant women to some Dr. Fuckenstein who is sterilizing them.
Ok, let’s rewind, and take another look at what I just said.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement, who, as I’m sure you can tell by the name, is NOT comprised of physicians, have been transporting incarcerated and detained immigrant women to some uterine butcher, and under some order reminiscent of Nazi Germany, they’ve been sterilized.
Now, the US has a history of forced sterilizations, although typically we choose to label it as a “for the good of the people” situation. This is the case and argument when we sterilize the mentally ill, anyway. For people who have a mentality similar to a ten-year-old with no hope of ever having the ability to take care of themselves, never mind a child, I can’t present a valid argument to say “no, let them have babies”. Clearly, though, this is not that scene.
Immigrant women, whether legal or illegal to this country, are not mentally ill, mentally incapacitated, or any other mental condition that deems them a danger to a child, especially one of their own. At most, they are incarcerated and at the mercy of the Dr. Giggles wannabes for a little petty ass misdemeanor slapped on them by the cop to merit the fact they were fucking with the woman in the first place. Truth be told, the woman probably wasn’t doing anything but being brown in America. God forbid.
It is documented that women (mostly brown women) were subjected to forced sterilization all the way up until the late 1970’s in Texas, California, and a few other states that have less balls than the others and don’t want to readily admit it (ahem…Michigan), but a lot of people don’t realize that even our friendly northern neighbors, yeah aye, Canada was doing much the same to “mentally unfit” (read: brown) women until almost 1980.
So, to see that there is evidence linked to some hacksaw surgeon in Georgia between ICE detainees and forced sterilization, I won’t lie and tell you I have my surprised Pikachu face right now.
You know, it seems to me that the same women who have been bitching about not being able to get late-term abortions should be losing their fucking minds right now. Because it’s all about a woman’s right to choose, is it not? So where the fuck are the celebrities now? Where are all of the outraged white women of America now that they’re literally ripping the reproductive systems out of these women for daring to have the damned dream of leaving some third world hellhole and living like a free woman? Isn’t this denying them their autonomy?
Oh, wait. That’s right. They’re brown. They don’t get the same rights, the same celebrity spokesbroads, the same choice.
You need to be an entitled white woman to get those rights.
Everyone else, well, it seems you can just shut your mouth and get your feet in those stirrups.
