mandatory to me seems so...... barbaric.

to honestly say there is any circumstance under which you would forcibly sterlize anyone is wrong. i wouldn't castrate a rapist or pedophile, i certainly wouldn't do the same for some idiot, slut, or junkie.

there are other ways to prevent conception except for sterilization. semi-permnant options which can be remvoed or kept as long as possubly and that do not require to remember to take a pill or open a foil packet.

but to maim someone for such a reason is appauling.
