The Georgia facility gained notoriety for allegations that women received “unnecessary” gynecological treatment, at times lacking informed consent.

    Doc out there performing involuntary sterilizations and yet other young women can’t get one because their doctor says, “what if your possible future husband wants kids?”

      Agreed and This is directly out of the Nazi playbook. Abortions and sterilization were encouraged for “undesirables”, but for the white folk it was “A Pregnancy Must not be Terminated!”

    Confusing as fuck title. But I guess the gist of it is that this facility that was found to have been performing unconsenting gynecological procedures on immigrant women will once again be given the opportunity to violate immigrant women by this god awful administration.

      I feel like “unconsenting gynecological procedures” just translates to them forcibly sterilizing women.

      You know, like we used to do to Black women, Native women, Japanese women…

        In no uncertain terms, this is exactly what they were (accused of) doing.

    Who said Republicans don’t want to help minority women with birth control?
