Why Is Pre-Sterilization Wrong
Women that have lost their parental rights due to substance abuse/physical abuse/neglect/etc some are continuing to conceive and neglect/abuse their children; finding themselves again and again fighting the court system to keep their children. Tax payers have been supporting these families long enough, when does the state/government say enough is enough and file a motion for court ordered birth control. Other states have court ordered pharmaceutical birth control or tubal ligation/IUD (5-10 year contraceptive) under certain circumstances, Michigan and several other states says it's unconstitutional. I am appalled at the fact that this country would put up with this. These children are our future and to continue this way is just telling children …show more content…
Soon after getting her tubes tied her parental rights were terminated. Numerous cases show that minimum procedures regularly precede state compelled sterilizations, and some clearly establish that pre-sterilization procedures are constitutionally required. In this case the sterilization was justified. It’s true that involuntary sterilization is not always unconstitutional if it is a narrowly tailored means to achieve a compelling government interest. But in this case since the woman was coerced it was found …show more content…
Methodology
I'll go about collecting my data in the form of a survey. All answers will be given on an anonymous basis, rather than answering untruthfully because someone may feel uncomfortable. I'll be passing out surveys in Flint, Michigan at JC Penney's - Genesee Valley Mall, and at Mott Community College main campus and in Grand Blanc, Michigan at Galaxy Lanes bowling alley and Wal-Mart department store. I intend on surveying 20 men and 20 women from each location; totaling 160 people. The survey will consist of a brief statement with two simple questions:

Survey:
Women that have lost their parental rights due to substance abuse/physical abuse/neglect/etc some are continuing to conceive and neglect their children; finding themselves again and again fighting the court system to keep their children.

Other states have court mandated birth control (Tubes Tied / (IUD) contraceptive that lasts 5-10 years) - Michigan does not have court ordered birth

    “The ability of a woman to have control of her body is critical to civil rights” (Linda, 10 Arguments: for and Agents Abortion). To have control of your own body is critical to rights under the U.S. constitution, to not have the ability to do what you want to your body. If someone else controls one thing of your body, they are violating your rights, even carrying something like a child, if you don’t want it attached to your body they are violating your rights, even when carrying something like a child, if you don’t want it attached to your body you should have it removed.…

    As a reflection, the Gonzales v. Carhart case in 2007 had a significant impact on the way abortions were performed. It established the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act which prevented D&E procedures, the dilation of a woman’s cervix followed by the extraction of the unborn child. (Kennedy 2) All doctors that knowingly performed the procedure were punished through the form of jail time or their license being revoked (Kennedy 8) since this was looked upon as inhumane. Also, making abortions illegal directly violates women’s human rights according to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The document states that slavery and servitude is a violation of the rights (UN General Assembly 1948), so the denial of abortions violates women’s human rights because their bodies are slaves to the government and they have to serve the government with their body, meaning continuing with an unwanted pregnancy. The document also states that everyone should feel secure and when this is not the case for the women that attempt to be an abortion; they fear for their life. Nevertheless, legalizing abortions is the best choice for the nation because it comes with benefits. Sadly, before abortions, they were many births that resulted in children being sent to orphanages since…

    What is fetus removal? Fetus removal is the executing of an unborn kid utilizing medicinal medications and strategies (Kreider, A. individual correspondence, March 24, 2011). Premature births are permitted at a sure phase of pregnancy. Fetus removal is both intrinsically and ethically wrong and ought to be unlawful in all cases aside from two. One being the lady was assaulted (pregnancy was the consequence of the assault), and the other reason would be if the mother's life would be in risk because of the pregnancy. Fetus removal is murder at any stage and is a demonstration against the U.S. Constitution. Ladies have the privilege to pick regardless of whether they need to have a kid. Today, there are individuals that as a consequence of an…

    In the case of Samantha Burton v. State of Florida the fetal rights were being championed by Ms. Burton’s physician by ordering her to stop smoking immediately and to remain on strict bed rest for the remainder of her pregnancy to help the fetus remain in utero for the longest time possible. The fetus has no voice and for many people no rights until it is born. The physician was acting upon the best interest of the fetus but did not allow the mother to be transferred to another hospital to get another opinion.…

    Connecticut, 381 U.S. 479 (1965), the Court held that though the Constitution does not explicitly protect a general right to privacy, the various guarantees within the Bill of Rights create penumbras, or zones, that establish a right to privacy. According to Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 13 (1973), the “right of privacy, whether it be founded in the Fourteenth Amendment's concept of personal liberty and restrictions upon state action, as we feel it is, or, as the District Court determined, in the Ninth Amendment's reservation of rights to the people, is broad enough to encompass a woman's decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy. The detriment that the State would impose upon the pregnant woman by denying this choice altogether is apparent.” The precedent set in Roe v. Wade should be used when deciding this case, due to Jane Doe being denied levonorgestrel, to terminate her possible…

    “Roe v. Wade ruled unconstitutional a state law that banned abortions except to save the life of the mother. The Court ruled that the states were forbidden from outlawing or regulating any aspect of abortion performed during the first trimester of pregnancy, could only enact abortion regulations reasonably related to maternal health in the second and third trimesters, and could enact abortion laws protecting the life of the fetus only in the third trimester. Even then, an exception had to be made to protect the life of the mother.”…

    In a documentation written by F.O. Butler, M.D., he lays out the reasons for commitment in the state of California. He explicitly states that “we [, the State of California,] have the right to sterilize regularly committed cases without the consent of the patient, the relative, or the guardian.” He even goes on to say that a 1939 Californian piece of legislation allowed doctors to “sterilize such cases regardless of their intelligence” (Butler). The latter statement seems to be a contradiction to the original purpose of the Eugenics movement. In addition, as one looks into North Carolina’s history of sterilization, it appears that it was centralized around a political agenda. Elaine Riddick was a victim of the targeting of minorities and welfare-dependents. She was “robbed of the ability to ever bear children again” against her own will. “The North Carolina Eugenics board, a 5-person state committee [was] responsible for ordering the sterilization of thousands of individuals in the name of social welfare” (Hutchinson, ABC affiliate). Cases like these appear to neglect ethics in every sense. Furthermore, the authorities began to expand and abuse the use of sterilization past its initial intentions. The citizens of each state were left in the dark about the actions of the few hierarchical representatives. In the universal realm of morals, thou shall do not…

    Sterilization In America

    In this paper, I argue that Americans back in the 60s and 70s had such xenophobic thoughts that created a divide between foreigners and Americans. Back when the Clinton administration ran the White House, many laws and acts were passed such as the Violent Crime Control and Prevention Act (1994). This law was a $30 million crime bill which created new capital crimes and also a three-strikes rule, which meant three time offenders of the same crime would be sent to prison for life. This bill also pushed for new prisons to be formed and police forces to hire more members which in turn strengthened the police force. This, along with Proposition 187, made immigrants a huge target for white Americans to go after and attack mercissily. The Clinton…

Reproductive rights are a broad area of public policy that encompasses sexual education, family planning, contraceptives, reproductive health services, and terminating a pregnancy.

    Abortions in America

    In 1962 Colorado became the first state to legalize abortions but only under the circumstances I previously disclosed. Soon similar laws were passed in California, Oregon, and North Carolina. In 1970, Hawaii was the first state to legalize abortions on the request of the mother. This lead the way for New York, to repeal its laws and allow women to terminate their pregnancy up to 24 weeks. A law in Washington, DC allowed abortion to protect the life and health of the women, was challenged in the Supreme Court in 1971. The case was United States v. Vuitvch. In this case, the Supreme Court upheld the law, stating that “health” meant a women’s physical and mental well-being. This allowed women in Washington, DC to receive abortions.…
