I don’t see why that makes my post unfair...
In no way am I discounting how a person’s experiences can impact their views, but in most if not all cases these are really the exact same motivators for the people coercing sterilization.
It is why noble cause corruption is so harmful in the big picture...because laws and ethics are ignored by otherwise law abiding ethical people who believe the wrong they commit is serving a beneficial purpose.
And I can assure you in my line of work I see plenty of consequences of children being born into situations that are incomprehensible and end up requiring the child to be apprehended by the government.
Government trammelling of women’s human rights can be effective for reducing these types of cases...that’s not a good reason to go that route.
To be clear, I am not characterizing AFC as advocating the trammelling of women’s human rights. I am suggesting his proposed solution is not a solution at all because it is just a less overt form of government coercion that would suffer from the same opportunity to lead to serious wrongs against vulnerable marginalized women.
In Canada, should a person be put to having to choose between clothing or being free from chemicals injected into their body that alter the body’s normal functioning that they do not consent to?
