This guy is State Rep. John LaBruzzo. Wow. He is good.

Rubystars:
This is eugenics, I don't like it. Sterilizing undesirables isn't exactly associated with good people.

I wouldn't mind if they were temporarily asked to use some form of birth control to increase their benefits though while on welfare.

Lisa:
I don't see a problem if there's no coercion involved. 

With that being said, I this guy could have put forth much stronger arguments.  He should have emphasized that this is completely voluntary.  And when the ditzy reporter kept bringing up education, and outreach in the community, he should have reminded her that we already pump billions into the bolshevik public schools, with the kids being no smarter for it. 

Rubystars:
Ok imagine this, you're desperately poor and don't really plan on having kids, so you take the money and get the operation. Several years down the road you're in a better financial situation and get married and are unable to have kids because of a desperate step you took when you were younger. It might not be direct coercion but it does seem coercive.
