Lousiana lawmaker advocates eugenics: Sterilize poor women, encourage rich to procreate.
The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports that state Rep. John LaBruzzo (R) said yesterday that “he is studying a plan to pay poor women $1,000 to have their Fallopian tubes tied.” LaBruzzo worries that people receiving food and housing assistance “are reproducing at a faster rate than more affluent, better-educated residents”:
He said he is gathering statistics now. … “What I’m really studying is any and all possibilities that we can reduce the number of people that are going from generational welfare to generational welfare,” he said.
He said his program would be voluntary. It could involve tubal ligation, encouraging other forms of birth control or, to avoid charges of gender discrimination, vasectomies for men. It also could include tax incentives for college-educated, higher-income people to have more children, he said.
LaBruzzo said that mainstream strategies against poverty, such as education and family planning, “have repeatedly failed to solve the problem,” according to the Times-Picayune. “I don’t know if it’s a viable option…Of course people are going to get excited about it,” he said of his plan.
“The black community will say this is some sort of race-based genocide. And there will be tremendous push back from the ACLU. They'll try to say these people are incapable of making such a decision when their life is in turmoil. That if you're dangling money in front of them, of course they'll make a decision that will affect them negatively. "My argument would be if they’re incapable of making a decision whether to cease reproduction are they capable of raising multiple children to be good citizens? And if they're incapable, maybe Social Services should take their children."

There are more ways to reduce the number of people who go on welfare from generation to generation than sterilizing them. How about we do something about our government so that everyone has an equal opportunity for a good education and a good job.

We are already getting rid of those stupid scientific beliefs in evolution, climate and civil rights. The Third Reich will be so proud. Hitler also encouraged the creation of a Master Race by economic incentives for the right people to reproduce.
Thank God we do not follow those stupid precedents set after WWII in which income disparity was reduced, true opportunity was opened for all and we saw economic advancement, less poverty and a wonderful increase in the wealth of a nation as a whole.
The plan presented should be adopted. Regulation of slave reproduction will ensure a reduction of inferior slave stock.

September 24th, 2008 at 1:13 pm…some of the tactics that the Nazis used were taken from United States practice (Piotrowski, 2000).
In the early 1900’s, the United States had a eugenics program (http://abcnews.go.com/onair/2020/2020_000322_eugenics_feature.html). With that program, the U.S. was attempting to perfect the gene pool. The hopeful outcomes were that of a society without crime, mental illness, and homelessness. The idea was that if the degenerates of society were kept from having children that society’s problems would disappear.

September 24th, 2008 at 1:14 pmRidding the world of poverty by attrition has been Republican policy from time immemorial - this is just one of their more atrocious propositions, so far. (I wonder how easy it would be to rid the world of idiots who think people’s value is only measured by their financial situation, by using this method.) As a practical matter, if there are no poor people to tax, how will they finance the tax incentives for the wealthy, to procreate?
September 24th, 2008 at 1:15 pmWhat’s so horribly frustrating about this kind of grandstading is that it gets mixed up with real, legitimate family planning efforts that actually can help lift people out of poverty.
Whether you’re in Louisiana or Lesotho, measures like encouraging young women to finish school, delay having children, and widen birth spacing do have some very positive effects on household income and health, and can help familes overcome the poverty traps that lead to this so-called “generational welfare.”
But what this dipshit is talking about isn’t family planning. It’s poverty genocide. And it’s exactly the conflation of these two things that breeds distrust and noncompliance with legitimate family planning efforts.

__________________________________________________________
I suspect Rep. LaBruzzo is counting on rich people having more Republican children, which is more important to him than productive or useful kids. Plans such as this one have generally been meant to increase the number of Republicans in the population and decrease the number of Democrats.
But it seldom works. Mainly because not all Republicans are rich. A lot of them live in trailer parks, struggling to get by just as poor Democrats do. The other factor is that there are many well-educated, professional Democrats.
Personally, I don’t think his program will get very far, even if he could get people on board with it. $1,000 doesn’t go very far these days, and it would take a lot more than that to get most people, even poor ones, to part with their baby-making abilities.
September 24th, 2008 at 1:20 pmWhy not just offer Republicans $1000 to be sterilized? Heck they do anything for money!
September 24th, 2008 at 1:21 pmIf only rational people could start this kind of dialog we might get somewhere. Population is a major problem in the world. While agreed that this nutcase is one step away from some very bad things with some very bad motives behind it, the population problem does need to be addressed. Our planet is past it’s carrying capacity. Incentives for birth control for both sexes and all socioeconomic classes is a great idea. Incentives for rich people to breed, not so much. First we have religious extremists trying to make sure have limited choices about their reproductive health, then we have class extremists trying to start a new world order with this.
I have come to the conclusion that in order for you to be heard, you have someone “important” to say the most outrageous things and then negotiate down from there. That way you still get what you want while the opposition is still reeling at how they averted the totally outrageous thing. It is all insane.

Eugenics is based on the idea there are certain genetic differences that make it less desirable or more desirable that people with these traits reproduce.
I think it’s a no-brainer that poor people have more important priorities than having children, but I simply advocate making family planning services available to all and letting the people themselves do the responsible thing.

September 24th, 2008 at 1:54 pmThere may be something to that theory, if the guy who wrote Freakonomics is correct. His theory was that the sharp drop in crime in the 90s had less to do with the good economy , and even less than that to do with “get tough” policies, and much more to do with the legalization of abortion in the early seventies.
Big distinction, however; it wasn’t the elimination of anything genetic that led fewer poverty-stricken children to grow up into criminals. It was simply that fewer children were being born to parents ill-equipped to care for them.

September 24th, 2008 at 2:27 pmThe fallacy of Social Darwinism is that, in natural selection, the ONLY factor that is selected for is how many offspring one has. Not how big a house one has, or how much bling. If you have few offspring, you’re an evolutionary failure.
And as a history of the Rockefellers shows, having lots of offspring dilutes the economic dynastic power. Two generations after JDJr., and the large numbers of Rockefellers out there are not especially powerful. The thing that makes them a reproductive success makes them a failure in terms of power.
The other part of Social Darwinism–besides the extermination of the poor–would require the smart and successful to marry other smart and successful people.
But will rich men be denied marrying their pretty girls instead of the horse-faced stick-figured professor of mathematics? Of course not! So the rich get prettier and lazier, and marry other pretty people until the money’s gone.
And of course they fully expect it to happen in one generation. If it were truly based on Darwin, results wouldn’t be seen for a hundred generations–which is about the length of human history.
Social Darwinism is a nonsensical fallacy that predators grab on to to justify their behavior. Just like the Divine Right of Kings and the Dictatorship of the Proletariat.

LaBruzzo was elected by the fine folks of Metairie, that armpit of a suburb between downtown New Orleans and the airport. It was the the home of the original white flight. However, this is not some upscale, affluent white-collar district.

Waitaminnit — are you saying that LaBruzzo’s constituents are exactly the people he wants to quit breeding? Is he deliberately committing political suicide, or is he counting on the people in his district to be stupid enough to believe they don’t fall in the group he’s targeting?

Naw, he just wants SOME of his new constituents to stop breeding. He likes his base that got him elected, with their gun racks and LSU bumper stickers (even tho’ no one in the family has ever matriculated).

Spencers Mom,
I just called and they asked too many questions, such as date of birth (what’s that got to do with anything - they didn’t even ask my address).
Then I was told there were three different color notices sent, and since I received a white notice that my poling place might be changed again. Then I was urged to vote by mail. It seems awfully fishy to me.
It does sound fishy. But the last advice is good. Get an absentee ballot from your registrar of voters and vote absentee. Just make sure you get it from the registrar.
John McCain’s campaign is sending absentee ballots to Democrats with an incorrect return address.
Just when you think they have gone as low as they can go, they prove you wrong.

From a deliberate misreading of The Ascent of Man and On The Origin of Species, perhaps. However, the field of eugenics has almost nothing to do with actual evolutionary science.

OT - financial alert: our dictator will speak tonight, another attempt at swindling money….asking for more funds shifted towards the very rich.
He and his merry band of thieves must be in panic mode by now. Now only are the Democrats not buying what he has to sell, his Republicans aren’t buying it either.
I can only think that the Republican legislators got an earful from their constituents on this financial meltdown and they see their jobs on the line here. That’s good, that is the way it should work.
September 24th, 2008 at 3:15 pmI hope the USA afro american community will vote in great numbers on this election! I hope people don’t forget KATRINA!
September 24th, 2008 at 3:22 pmAnd what constitutes a “Poor Woman”? I mean will there be door to door searches to see how many kids one has? Or what one’s salary is? Or what one’s living conditions are?
OR like I suspect, does this nimrod only mean brown-skinned people?

Rep. LaBruzzo is on point. We need financially sound people to ensure that our economy survives, not enablers.
I guess that excludes the formerly affluent “newly poor” of the financial meltdown. After all, if the FBI finds the skeletons and/or the congress delays bailing these overextended piffle CEOs out of the holes they’ve dug for themselves, I can think of no better candidates to test-drive this program.
We don’t want that kind of financial bungler, the type that brings a nation to its capitalistic knees, to be saved, much less multiply, now do we?
Paulsen, you’re up right after Labruzzo….

I’m sure they will. Their votes might not all count, but they’ll be voting in record numbers.
September 24th, 2008 at 3:29 pmWait a minute! You guys are kidding, right? You got this off the front page of The Onion, right? Oh, crap.
September 24th, 2008 at 4:02 pmGOP, NAZI, what’s the difference?
September 24th, 2008 at 4:18 pmNot a hell of a lot, anymore.
Hi Bilbo,
Thanks for the advice. I’m just worried that with a mail in ballot, they’ll just through it away.
September 24th, 2008 at 4:24 pmAnd Dems are elitist?
September 24th, 2008 at 5:21 pmMy guess is he’d make an exception for poor Christian women doing their QuiverFull duty, producing more Christian soldiers.

You are a sick disgusting piece of human garbage. A soulless moron without a shred of decency. What we need is soulsick morons like YOU to promise not to breed and contaminate out genepool with your sick twisted ignorance and hatefilled stupidity. You are an embarassment to our entire species. An actual human being that got to know you would sicken and puke at the thought of you being thought of as a human being like they are. You are a stupid, depraved, disgusting, moron and I pity anyone that for any reason has to be in your presence

September 25th, 2008 at 12:29 amAbout time. Let me first state that I’m neither a Democrat nor Republican. This should have been put into law years ago. It’s getting ridicules that there are so many low income people have kids to just get more welfare. This needs to come to an end. If you cannot afford to have a child that you shouldn’t. Stop wasting the tax payers money on these parents and children who are already a menace to society. They also need to put into law that any parent that is $5,000 behind in child support to have their reproductive organ chopped off so they can stop littering the world with their offspring.
