Charity Pays Drug Addicts to Undergo Sterilization

[gungirl65]

So what would you have thought if a charity offered to pay you to get fixed telling you that they don't care about you, they just don't want you to have more children? Would you rather get $200 of help to get you out of the abusive situation you are in or be left there only to give the charity a warm and fuzzy knowing they won't have to contribute to more of your children?

I probably wouldn't have been a likely candidate for their program. I was only 17 and only had one child. I wouldn't have accepted sterilization at that point in my life.

I was able to leave my situation instead of accepting it as my normal. Some women can't or won't leave. The more children a woman has the more vulnerable she is. For women who already have two or more children with no plan to leave, this would be an option to consider.

What if the charity were to offer to merely pay for the sterilization...no money was to change hands?

I can't object to that. There would access issues for non-profit status.

I'm not really bothered by the money. Truthfully I don't have a strong opinion one way or the other. I just don't believe that they give a tinkers damn about the people they're fixing.

 

[public servant]

I can't object to that.

OK...what if they were offered an option? Either free rehab or the $200?

A free chance to better themselves. To turn it around...

And I don't disagree.

What difference does it make if they care about these people? It's a consensual win win for everyone.

Go to any store & buy something, do you think the clerk taking your money gives a damn about you? Not likely. Do you still buy from that store? How is this any different?

The lady that founded the program adopted 4 kids from a crack addicted mother, so I think she does care about the kids that are born into this situation. She's probably seen first hand the effects drugs have on kids.

Giving cash to a drug user isn't a good idea. I believe it is referred to as enabling.

 

[gungirl65]

Giving cash to a drug user isn't a good idea.

But letting them continue to procreate is?

First dogs. Now, a sweater from Macy's. Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse.

Some people just like to argue.

Some people just like to argue.

The nerve of some people to have opposing viewpoints on an Internet FORUM.

Don't speak too soon.

This thing would never fly here in the U.S.

The Democratic Party wants to keep the votes coming.

 

[Ted]

"When I use a word," [STRIKE]Humpty Dumpty[/STRIKE] Bill Clinton said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean － neither more nor less."

FTFY. It depends on what the definition of 'is' is.

 

[Ted]

Yes, I've had a vasectomy.

Halleluiah!

 

[Ted]

It isn't free to make. They are given money for their next fix. You are offering money to a drug addict for surgery.

Not just any surgery, a surgery that will render her unable to create life.

People are constantly enticed into making decisions for their own gain. Alcoholics and other drug abusers sell plasma for their habit. How is this any different?

BTW......Tubal ligations and vasectomies can be reversed.

 

[hornadylnl]

Halleluiah!

You don't have to worry about me getting you pregnant.

 

[gungirl65]

But what if he got you pregnant? You know he would want to be on top.

With his obsession of me, I think you're right.

 

[Ted]

I would only be obsessed with you if I ran out of toilet paper.

Just for the record: I'm always on top. Just ask Gungirl.
