Why bless your little heart, dahlin. No one paid any attention to your
other posts so you have gotten desperate. Poor little wanker, are you that
lonely that even negative attention is better than no attention at all?
Must be since it appears you are so desperately crying out for attention
from someone from EE VIL California <g>
Just curious, have you been having these problems with your memory for very
long? Might want to see someone about this problem. To refresh your
failing memory, it was the U.S. I talked about, not the Philippines. Don't
have to take my word for it, you can type your little fingers away and look
up S.J.15 (introduced by Senator Brownback of Kansas) and H.J. RES. 3
(introduced by Congresswoman Jo Ann Davis of Virginia), or you can look
into that little section of PHS (Public Health Services) known as Population
Affairs. Dr. Louis Hellman, then Deputy Assistant Secretary of Population
Affairs presented statistics confirming that the U.S. gave federal grants
for sterilizing low income people, funds reimbursing states for 90% of the
cost of sterilizing indigent women.
Now, since you seem interested in locals other than the U.S., maybe you'd be
interested in the funding through the Rockefeller Foundation for the
sterilization of Columbian women. Or the U.S. imposed population control
program administered by the Peace Corps who sterilized Quechua Indian women
in Bolivia.
But I bet you were really referring to me quoting ol' Bushy I when he was a
UN ambassador. I can't possibly be held responsible for his involvement in
eugenics and saying "It is quite clear that one of the major challenges of
the 1970s will be to curb the world's fertility." I mean, you can't blame
me because he worked hand in glove with Willliam H. Draper III. I didn't
invent the Sterilization Council or Dulles and Rockefeller's Population
Council. I didn't make the Bushies become members of the American Eugenics
Society. I didn't make then UN Ambassador Bush push the U.S. Agency for
International Development to sign a contract with the Sterilization League
of America.
Oh, I get it. I don't pretend all that didn't happen, won't help rewrite
history to make them look like good guys, so therefore, following your
twisted logic, then I must be spinning.
That's o.k., I'm sure folks can see for themselves who is hysterical and
flaming and who finds some folks an amusing example of why Ronnie Baby
shouldn't have closed up all those "country clubs."
So, since I wouldn't want you to get some major "error" readings in your wee
little brain and have you blow all your circuits by believing anything I
have to say, here's a list to help you can do some reading and educate
yourself:

And then you can read Relf et al. v. Weinberger et al. and National Welfare
Rights Organization v. Weinberger et al.
Then proceed to the September 21, 1972 Federal Register for the HEW
regulations which were amended. Then again to 18 April 1974, for new
regulations that were amended due to the above referenced cases.
I would also refer you to Senator James Abourezk of South Dakota, chairman
of the Senate Interior Subcommittee on Indian Affairs who conducted an
initial investigation of charges of involuntary sterilizations and who
inturn referred his findings to the GAO on 30 April 1975 for further
investigation. Said report was released 6 November 1976.
Add to the reading material Dr. Connie Pinkerton-Uri's study. The 1977
National Council of Church's Interreligious Foundation for Community
Organization conference in DC.

Now if this doesn't keep you busy enough, you might try the National
Academies Press. They have multiple articles. Or, if you *honestly* are
interested, you can go to the National Archieves or head on over to the
Mormons and look at the hundreds, if not thousands of relevant documentation
they have.

Hey Lyndie, spin for us once again that yarn about the Bushies and the
sterilizations in the Philippines. Maybe you can work Ken Lay and
Arnold in there somewhere. It was great entertainment, the sort I live
for.
