I guess that includes White women too. Since people in New Orleans are naturally poor after the wrath of Hurricane Katrina. Mother nature has left that city(which is below the sea level) a war torn community. And the conditions there are still ignobly sordid. Both classes of people are effected, including business owners of every racial background. Are now poor and struggling to get back on their feet. The downfall on Wall St. has only added to their hardships as with everyone else. That both White and Black people in that city are equally poor. Both women could be sterialized. And I doubt that legistilature will pass. If it does, both Whites and Blacks will be fleeing New Orleans by the thousands, leaving the city in shambles.

Indirect Genocide
After reading the issue surrounding the sterilization proposal in Louisiana being revived, by a state representative, I literally had to excuse myself from my work place and rush to the restroom. I became sick and you know what happen next. This issue is the same initiative the savage doctors of Nazi Germany performed on many females in the deaf camps.
My cry to United States government is to stop this horrific, repulsive, sadistic beast, Rep. John LaBruzzo. Where did this individual come from?
There should be an outcry against such an awful attempt to take advantage of the poor and underprevildge in America. Sick, Sick, and Wicked.

I’m scared to comment on this one… I don’t want to get killed.
First let me clear the air… so that you can see reasonably well that I am not a racist… 70% of welfare recipients are white.
Now on to the issue… somebody has to stop these women from shooting out babies like it’s nothing.
I have a son from a woman who used childbirth as a form of entrapment… thinking it would make me marry her… all it did was make me hate her. Don’t sleep with me with ulterior motives. That’s not why I was sleeping with you, I was sleeping with you because I kind of liked you. You trick me like that… hay, now you’re the enemy.
I know some will say, …ware a rubber… but that’s not the point, the point is “you know your body better than I do”… tell me “no” if your ovulating.
You use “childbirth” as a way of not having to work… sorry… after the “third one”… you loose your right.

Well the animal rights groups are coming up the backside making it illegal to own a unfixed animal. The Socialist’s have joined forces with the Nazi’s and they wont be happy till they have all of us roped, baged and gased.

Does this mean that those on “Corporate Welfare” should also be sterilized? I would think that quite a few Republicans and Democrats would qualify. I’m sort of tired of them living off of my hard work.

Gee Clark, ever consider a vasectomy?

Little skippy. The animal rights groups do not have anything to do with sterilization of White & Black women in New Orleans. Nor do they propose such insidious ideas. Your way off topic there and we`re not sure what you’re referring to. This is the work of one vile being named John LaBruzzo. Who steals the ideas from David Duke. Because he cares so much about money rather than human life.

Native American women were having sterilizations done WITHOUT THEIR PERMISSION into the mid ’70′s- and it’s estimated that between 25% and 50% of American Indian women were sterilized between 1970 and 1976 (Jane Lawrence “The Indian Health Service and the Sterilization of Native American Women”, American Indian Quarterly, Summer 200 Vol. 24 No. 3 Pg 410). There are other articles on this American genocide available.
Believe me, I’ve heard the suggestion since then. Always in the name of “fighting poverty and keeping those poor women from having more welfare babies”.
The sterilizations were done in the name of reducing poverty- but the reality was an attempt at genocide!!!

I’m a little perplexed about this nut-winger who proposed such an evil inhuman idea, calling himself a Republican. The last time I checked, the Republitoons are conservatives and one of their fudemental core beliefs in conervatism also means Pro-Life. This proposal is completely unorthodox and un-American. Its totally contradictory to what being a Republican stands for.
John LaBruzzo should never be regarded as a GOP, a conservative. But an extremist who follows other extremists, he is but another Jesse Helms in the political seat.
He’s evil, plain and simple.

Why aren’t they PAYING people to have babies when they are so against abortion? And you trying to tell me I can go get sterilzed just because I want to??? Well you little tin gods, oh ye nest of hypocritcal vipers. How dare you try and meddle in people’s private business just because someone might spend some money on someone else but YOU. You people are downright evil. Something is going to happen to the people with this kind of ‘dictatorship’ kind of mindset. This group are the WORST of haters and I find it laughable that they accuse of others of hate when they are so professional at hating. Disgusting.

This is a sad commentary coming from a priveleged man of Italian descent. I wonder what his “La Mamma” will think of his idea and whether we can start by sterlizing him first to show us that waterboarding really doesn’t hurt. I am appalled that sterilization rather than education is the fast track way of dealing with “humane” genocide. Please go back to the drawing board and come up with a humane way of treating hurting humans, it’s called COMPASSION.

Babette I’m not sure who you’re speaking to, or what “group” you’re referring to. But lets assumed your vitriolic rants are directed at John LaBruzzo and the extremists who promote mass murder and secret genocide on Whites and other struggling class of people.
Because if you do, then I surely hope you don’t reproduce, ever.

It troubles me when the Republicans who are for the most part–conservatives. Allow such rhetoric that’s inconsistant to their moral beliefs. This proposal if its a joke by any means, sure is worthy of a recall effort by folks in the New Orleans area. Who are shockly offended by such an egregious measure. Why the GOPs would allow such an extremist to join the ranks of the wing-nut party that surely depicts the Republicans as the party of bigots and bullies rather than the follow the party of Ronald Reagan and
Teddy Roosevelt is amazing.
That’s a real shame on the part of the Republitards. But regardless of this nonsensical idea, the city`s registered voters will most likely sway away from the Republitoons with odious measures such as this one. Where the sinister intent is to commit mass murder on the lower class of all people in New Orleans. With most of them being Black and Whites. All for the sake of cost containment.
Why not produce jobs and jobs growth and stop the deportation of jobs to foreign countries so that the people don’t have to be poor? There are numerous ideas to prevent people from being poor. Most people are forced into poverty conditions by the faults of their government. Not because they wanted to be poor.
So underlying question behind John LaBruzzo`s sterilization stint was possibly influenced by White Supremacy since David Duke`s name was brought up.
I say this man is worthy of being booted from the political arena altogether.
