California Prisons Were Illegally Sterilizing Female Inmates

You are misleading people, those were not forced sterilizations! Here are some excerpts from the article.

Over the course of several years, two women's prisons in California signed at least 150 pregnant women up for permanent sterilization to be performed after they gave birth
Some inmates interviewed for the piece were happy to have the procedure done, but noted that they weren't informed of the medical reasoning for having it
Those who refused the tubal ligation were not forced into undergoing the procedure, although one former inmate says that she was pressured to agree to a tubal ligation while strapped down and sedated in preparation for a C-section

Some of the women were "coerced"... translation: some women were forced to do it.

Thanks 35481792. I quoted what the meat of the article says. People show read the whole article before commenting anyways.
