The problem is FORCING people against THEIR WILL to be sterilized, which is something the two above were big/huge/overwhelming proponents of.
Now offering incentives to self sterilize is a totally different matter. Say you pay each male who wants a vasectomy for the vasectomy plus a 1,000 dollar bonus. That is well and good because the person would have the choice to decide to do it or not. Now I don’t think the government should fund such an endeavor because it takes away the taxpayers choice to not fund something they are idealogically against, it should be “private charities” that fund it.
Ironically the ACLU would see this as “forcing” someone into it as they would be offered a “bribe”, but by that same token isn’t working a 9-5 job being bribed by trading your time for money? The ACLU has nixed ideas like this in the past by claiming they “force the poor people into them.”
I would say a privately funded charity doing this with the express consent of those wanting it would be perfectly, keep the government away from it, because the government screws up most things they touch.
