I am not in any way supportive of forced sterilizations, but I think certain South American governments are overwhelmed with street children and massive social unrest in their cities. It is a very tempting to believe forced birth control is the answer rather than give up the century-old socialist governmental structure and initiate true free market reforms that would provide jobs for all of their citizens.
On a side note, I read that even the Israeli conducted forced sterilization among Ethiopian immigrants and had to apologize when it was made public. Shame on them!
A lot of people approach “social problems” with a kind of idiot arithmetic, consisting solely of subtraction.
