A Massachusetts judge revives a favorite old practice of the state's elites.

Can a judge, without even holding a hearing, order a woman sterilized in a state where compulsory sterilization has never been the law?

As North Carolina prepares to pay reparations to victims of its decades-long eugenics campaign, Massachusetts strangely enters a sterilization debate that most had thought long over. Norfolk County Probate and Family Court Judge Christina L. Harms earlier this month ordered that a bipolar and schizophrenic woman be "coaxed, bribed, or even enticed…by ruse" to abort her pregnancy and undergo sterilization. If the mentally ill woman were sane, the judge determined, she "would not choose to be delusional" and therefore, she would choose abortion.

In the futuristic Boston of 1887's Looking Backward, Edward Bellamy celebrates that "the principle of sexual selection, with its tendency to preserve and transmit the better types of the race, and let the inferior types drop out, has unhindered operation." A century ago Harvard University offered eugenics courses and educated the movement's most fervent servant, Charles Davenport of the Eugenics Records Office. Even Great Barrington's favorite son, W.E.B. Du Bois, five years after Hitler had ascended to power, echoed the racialist language of the social hygiene crusade. Harvard's first African-American Ph.D. observed that "the mass of ignorant Negroes still breed carelessly and disastrously," and that "among human races and groups, as among vegetables, quality and not mere quantity really counts."

"We have seen more than once that the public welfare may call upon the best citizens for their lives," Holmes infamously ruled. "It would be strange if it could not call upon those who already sap the strength of the State for these lesser sacrifices, often not felt to be such by those concerned, in order to prevent our being swamped with incompetence. It is better for all the world if, instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind. The principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the Fallopian tubes. Three generations of imbeciles are enough."

I'm in shock. Can't even think of what to say.
