[quote:Anonymous Coward 29303680:MV8yMDc3NjY0XzM0OTc2MTU3XzM3MDgwOUI=] The program ended in 1977, supposedly, so this is an old story, but it is nice to see it in the media, so more people will see that our country has always been fucked up, and not just in the last 12 years [/quote]

A decades-long US program of forced sterilization left tens of thousands of women unable to have children. As plans for compensation remain feeble, RT talks to one of the victims about the horrors of eugenics she was exposed to.
RT’s Marina Portnaya traveled to North Carolina, where the silent eugenics program was the most aggressive and prolonged.
Operating from 1933 to 1977, the Eugenics Board of North Carolina quietly sterilized an estimated 7,600 people, targeting minorities and poor young women due to their low income and education.
