Should DisAbled Girls Be Sterilised?

   I think it would be much more cost effective to neuter the males who are the ones who seem to have the sexual drive in their teens and 20′s to impregnate disabled teens or adults women. It’s males that have the raging testosterone so let’s see ‘that’ as the problem and fix it rather than society always blaming the ‘woman’ and punishing her. I base my opinion of a friend’s painful loss of her ‘one child’ to CPS. The father of her baby just happened to have one prior to her’s and has two other kids since…………so he’s a daddy to four kids but two have been taken. Why doesn’t the system ‘counsel’ him or give him free birth control ?!

   What is “Dee Dee” talking about? Where are the teenagers that are impregnating adult women? How much access do teenage boys have to severely disabled women? Surely it’s grown men who are in a position of trust who abuse it, or else other disabled men these women meet. (Perhaps these men ought to be sterilised, but certainly not castrated.)

   As far as I can see such a move smacks of eugenicist thinking, additionally making it easier for men to rape women with impunity (if the women and girls are unable to communicate effectively, and quite frankly even if they can in rape trials any man’s word seems to be better than a woman’s).
   Many years ago I knew of a moderately intellectually disabled young woman who was raped, got pregnant, had an abortion. She wouldn’t have understood what was going on and the whole thing must have been utterly terrifying for her. I suppose to save those women from that sort of suffering I would support it, but then you are basically saying it is inevitable that they will be raped.
