This Woman Pays Drug Addicts To Get Sterilized
Barbara Harris
As 2017 came to a close  Vice News profiled a woman named Barbara Harris  whose organization pays drug addicts to get themselves sterilized or have an IUD implanted.
Traveling the country in her branded RV   Harris  thinks of herself as a crusader for the many unfortunate children born into a miserable life with drug addicted parents. Indeed  many of the women whom  Harris  works with have as many as seven children  despite being addicted to heroine  meth  cocaine or crack.
"Nothing positive comes to a drug addict who gives birth to eight children that are taken away from her. This is a win-win for everybody "  Harris  says of  her  operation.
Having operated for over 20 years and receiving millions in donations   Harris  has now paid for the sterilization and long-term birth control of roughly 7 000 people  a majority of whom are black women.  She  began  her  operation after adopting four children who were all born from the same drug-addicted mother.
 Harris ' moral reasoning is purely Machiavellian. In  her  mind  the ends justify the means because sterilization means fewer babies will be born into an unfortunate situation  some of whom suffer severe birth defects. "I think if there's anything that everyone can agree on ... It's that it's not okay to abuse children "  Harris  says in justifying  her  practice.
One prevention that  Harris  (as well as many misguided Libertarians) disagrees with is sending hard drug users to jail  as in the case of one woman who was prosecuted for taking drugs while pregnant.
