Here is someone who I wish would get sterilized for life - This great mother gave birth and within an hour threw her baby out of a moving car onto the street along with his umbilical cord still attached, wrapped in a plastic bag. I wouldn’t want to force another baby on this woman or even force her to a life of abstinence. All I ask is for her uterus to be removed so she cannot repeat stunts like this again.
Hey, a hysterectomy works great for birth control, especially if you are as empathetic a mother as in this case!
(p.s. I do understand that per the article, and the police testimony, we are still not sure if it was the mother who threw the baby out - I still stand by my words. If she cannot stay away from people who abuse her, she has no right to expose her babies to abusers).
Update: Guess what! Turns out that the so-called rescue lady was the baby’s mother and she made up the entire baby-thrown-from-car incident. If she had to go to these lengths inspite of Florida’s safe harbor law (within the infant’s first three days, you can leave him at any hospital or fire station - no questions asked), she still deserves to be sterilized!

Sterlization is absolutely necessary. There has to be a limit to human depravity

Sterilisation has to be a legal punishment.
I had the same thought after reading a news report earlier this week.
A couple here in Hong Kong were sentenced to 5 years jail term for systematically abusing their 6 months baby by breaking the child limbs over months.
The report also goes on to say, that the couple had an earlier child aged 8 who is presently in a foster home, because the father had abused the child 7 years ago and was then sentenced to 1 year jail term.
If the parents were then sterilized at the time of first crime, there never would have been a second child who had to undergo the pain and die.
