When Chief Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., wrote the majority opinion for the 1927 Buck v. Bell decision, he upheld the practice of state-sponsored sterilization and wrote that "three generations of imbeciles are enough."
However, God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ and God the Holy Spirit hasn't had enough of people, and He counsels us to think well about God and people. Proverbs 4:23 Amplified Bible says, "Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life." Deuteronomy 6:5 New Living Translation Bible says, "And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength." Leviticus 19:18 The Message Bible says, "“Don’t seek revenge or carry a grudge against any of your people. “Love your neighbor as yourself. I am God."
Some people carry a grudge against people who are disabled, low-income and/or minorities. Some also seek revenge. The Charlotte Observer reports that Wallace Kuralt, a North Carolina welfare director from 1945 to 1972, said in a 1970 interview that “we’ve pursued sterilization of the inadequate parents more actively than any place in the world... Our activities (in birth control and sterilization) have caused us to give aid to less than 50 percent of the families we would have had to give aid to if it were not for these activities.” Read more here: http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2013/08/08/4223519/alice-mae-jackson-and-eugenics.html#storylink=cpy.
It's this type of thinking that permitted William Lynch, Charles Holt, Alice Mae Jackson, Elaine Riddick, Nial Ramirez and more than 7,600 people in North Carolina to be forcibly sterilized. Elaine Riddick was raped at age 13 and became pregnant. At age 18 she got married and tried to have children a year later. When she couldn't, she found out that the state of North Carolina had sterilized her as her son, Tony Riddick, was being delivered by C-section. Elaine Riddick has been seeking to stop state-sponsored sterilization and to start financial compensation for the victims ever since. Due to her efforts and the efforts of many other people North Carolina is scheduled in June 2015 to pay $10 million split equally in a one-time payment to victims of North Carolina state-sponsored sterilization.
California has even more documented cases of state-sponsored sterilizations than North California. It has more than 20,000 and is believed to be the US state with the most sterilizations based on laws like the one upheld in Buck v. Bell. However, all state records have not been made public. Also California is not scheduled to pay compensation to sterilization victims.
The Buck v. Bell sterilization law and others like it are based on eugenic philosophy which believes that the human race can be improved by promoting the procreation of some considered superior and by eliminating the procreation of others considered inferior (usually the disabled, low-income and minorities).
When God tells the human race to multiply in the Bible, He doesn't limit procreation based on a person's physical, mental and economic characteristics. God does command people to have children within marriage. God wants children to be loved by a mother and father.
God is Love. Obey Love. Disobey the devil. Love sees the potential in people, does not embrace pride and desires to imitate God. The devil will use pride and any other sin to degrade, divide and destroy people.
Abortion, sterilization, discrimination against the disabled and others, and other evils can be stopped. “Anything is possible in this world," Chen Guangcheng says (Rosie Gray, "Chen Guangcheng: Chinese Government “In A State Of Madness,”" BuzzFeed, May 13, 2014.)
Disabled or non-disabled we all need help in various ways. Chen Guangcheng, who became blind as a result of a childhood illness and now wears dark sunglasses, is a self-taught lawyer from China who helped the disabled win public benefits and aided farmers fighting illegal land seizures. Chen Guangcheng became internationally known for filing a 2005 class-action law suit against Chinese government officials for forced abortions and forced sterilizations practiced as part of China’s one-child policy. Later he endured physical and psychological abuse in jail and in house arrest. Chen Guangcheng was in house arrest with his wife, Yuan Weijing, and the couple's daughter. Their son was being "educated." Eventually the Chen family escaped to the United States. Chen Guangcheng, a US immigrant, testified before Congress on April 9, 2013, regarding human rights abuses in China.
Timothy Liveright has committed human rights abuses in America. Timothy Liveright, an abortionist at a Delaware Planned Parenthood clinic, would sing "hymns about sin to girls during the painful dilation phase of an abortion," according to Jayne Mitchell-Werbrich, a former nurse at the clinic; read more at http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/she-the-people/wp/2013/08/02/another-gosnell-in-delaware/. Mitchell-Werbrich also said that Liveright placed patients on "operating tables still wet with the blood from the previous patient." Another former nurse at the Delaware Planned Parenthood clinic, Joyce Vasikonis, and a former healthcare manager at this clinic, Melody Meanor, have all testified of the unsafe, unsanitary, chaotic conditions in the Delaware Planned Parenthood clinic. Watch them talk in a "Planned Parenthood Whistleblowers" video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzt8u-LC34w.
Instead of Timothy Liveright's, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.'s, and Wallace Kuralt's way of thinking and trying to solve problems, think and do Biblical love empowered by a relationship with God.
Our thoughts are influenced by what we hear. Anti-love eugenic thinking is still around today. What are some common sayings that encourage abortion, sterilization and discrimination against the disabled and others? Write to:

True Love Or False "Love"?
God created sexuality to be a beautiful reflection and celebration of Himself. God is Love, Life and Joy among other qualities.
Some don't think much of God and consequently they misuse sex. In bringing healing and reconciliation to a man who had sex with his father's wife and the church he attended, the Bible books of 1 Corinthians and 2 Corinthians record that the man was not sterilized nor any child conceived from his sexual union with his father's wife killed. Instead he was disciplined to motivate him to stop sexual sin and to love God and people. His church was also counseled to deal with his sins and their sins and to love God and people. Galatians 6:1 Amplified Bible says about true change and true love, "Brethren, if any person is overtaken in misconduct or sin of any sort, you who are spiritual [who are responsive to and controlled by the Spirit] should set him right and restore and reinstate him, without any sense of superiority and with all gentleness, keeping an attentive eye on yourself, lest you should be tempted also."
True love exists. So does false "love." In the United States state of Delaware Timothy Liveright, an abortionist at a Planned Parenthood clinic, would sing "hymns about sin to girls during the painful dilation phase of an abortion," according to Jayne Mitchell-Werbrich, a former nurse at the clinic (Kirsten Powers, "Another Gosnell in Delaware?," The Washington Post, August 2, 2013.) Mitchell-Werbrich also said that Liveright placed patients on "operating tables still wet with the blood from the previous patient." Another former nurse at the Delaware Planned Parenthood clinic, Joyce Vasikonis, and a former healthcare manager at this clinic, Melody Meanor, have all testified of the unsafe, unsanitary, chaotic conditions in the Delaware Planned Parenthood clinic; read more at http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/she-the-people/wp/2013/08/02/another-gosnell-in-delaware/, and watch them talk in a "Planned Parenthood Whistleblowers" video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzt8u-LC34w.
Kermit Gosnell is in jail. While Timothy Liveright of the Delaware Planned Parenthood clinic has voluntarily suspended his medical license, he could start to practice again unchanged and nothing has been done for the victims of his abortions.
In July 2013 North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory signed into law abortion clinic regulation. Joyce Vasikonis, one of the former nurses at the Delaware Planned Parenthood clinic, talked to Kirsten Powers about regulating abortion clinics as ambulatory service centers; Vasikonis said, “The procedure of surgical abortion is similar to woman …going to the hospital or outpatient center and having a D&C. Outpatient centers are strictly regulated. I do not understand why any organization doing a similar procedure wouldn’t be similarly regulated. It’s not like you are taking a mole off someone” (Kirsten Powers, "Another Gosnell in Delaware?," The Washington Post, August 2, 2013.)
North Carolina is also scheduled to pay $10 million shared equally to victims of a former state program where government workers forcibly sterilized people deemed to be 'mentally diseased, feeble-minded or epileptic.' Elaine Riddick was raped at age 13. Then the state of North Carolina sterilized her after threatening her grandmother, who could not read, with the withdrawal of welfare including food stamps if she didn't sign a form giving the state permission to sterilize Riddick.
Money helps to pay for physical and mental healthcare. Should victims of unsafe and unsanitary abortions be financially compensated similar to victims of forced sterilization in North Carolina? Should girls and boys who survived attempted abortions be financially compensated? Should Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers be fined and closed? Write to:

Li Fengfei was subjected to a forced abortion in China. Chinaaid reports in the July 18, 2013, article, "Family Planning Committee in Jinsha County, Guizhou Province, forces woman to undergo abortion, leaving her in critical condition," "On July 9, 2013, five officials from the Jinsha County Bureau of Family Planning (located in Bijie City, Guizhou Province) took Li Fengfei, who was nearly 18 weeks pregnant, to a family planning instruction station. They beat her, breaking one of her teeth, and forced her to place her fingerprint on a form consenting to an abortion. While holding her down on a desk, the officials injected her with Rivanol, a medication used to induce labor, and other medications including Mifepristone and Oxytocin. Li developed a high fever, but no labor occurred and the child remained unborn.
Seventy-two hours later, on July 12, the officials performed an ultrasound which confirmed that the unborn child was dead. On July 13, the officials gave Li another round of injections to induce labor, but were again unsuccessful. Today, July 18, Li remains hospitalized in critical condition and her dead child has not yet been born." According to March 2013 Chinese Health Ministry data 336 abortions and 222 million sterilizations have been done since 1971.
Abortions are done in America also, more than 55 million since 1973. Some are working to save these lives. The US House of Representatives passed legislation which prohibits abortions at 20 weeks and beyond. Pray that the US Senate will also pass this legislation, and US President Barak Obama will sign it into law. The 20 week abortion prohibition is a step in the ultimate goal of protecting life from conception.
America should be a place who welcomes people and provides true love. We have a national motto of "In God We Trust." God created and loves people of all ages, races, sexes, ethnicity and abilities.
