Confronting Eugenics Means Finally Confronting Its Ableist Roots, Robyn M. Powell
Confronting Eugenics Means Finally Confronting Its Ableist Roots, Robyn M. Powell
William & Mary Journal of Race, Gender, and Social Justice
In September 2020, a whistleblower complaint was filed alleging that hysterectomies are being performed on women at an immigration detention center in alarmingly high rates. Regrettably, forced sterilizations are part of the nation’s long-standing history of weaponizing reproduction to subjugate socially marginalized communities.
