31 US states and Washington, D.C. have laws allowing forced sterilization of disabled people. It just needs a judge to sign the order.
I initially didn't recall the "fact or piece of information" in the post title and thought, "well this is a weird tip ..."
Why am I not surprised the united states of america also known as the "un-united shithole of america" legally allows eugenics
And you have those bigots in america that appoint bigoted judges if they get voted in if I recall correctly from news from america, I'm glad I don't live in america
People in red states with a disability, I suggest you leave those states and head to a blue state away from the bigots and if you have the means to do so become an expatriate and leave the united states of america and head to a more open and progressive country
Genetically disabled people I suppose I wouldn't be opposed to.
My family has a history of alcoholism, bipolar disorder, and depression, and a history of trauma spanning 3 generations.
One of the many reasons I'm not having kids.
This is one of those if you wouldn't be happy it happening to yourself you shouldn't consider it for others. In this case I feel like it would be justified but socially wrong.
A lot of problems would be solved if we were objective about our problems as human and a society.
You choosing not to have kids due to family history isn't justification for motherfucking eugenics, you ableist.

Would undergoing a medical procedure without your consent also qualify?
Like a circumcision lol.
What makes you think that I thought circumcision was OK? And fo you understand in what ways sterilisation and circumcision are not medically equivalent procedures in terms of risk and recovery?
I didn't say it was. It's cleared you're charged up and ready to take this conversation with a clear objective approach.
