Ellen Should Sue!

Well, one of my girl's more draconian ideas appears to have "been done":

[Project Prevention] offers drug addicts and alcoholics a sum of $200 for opting for a long-term form of birth control, such as sterilisation or a contraceptive implant.

Eugenics? Hardly. Nobody's making anyone do this. Implants are even reversable. However, I think the quote, "Barbara Harris couldn't care less about the addicts themselves and what might be best for them" is a straw man. Why should she care about someone who has flushed their life down the toilet? There are other agencies to serve that function. She's just out to make sure they don't bring any innocent lives into the picture, lives we'll all have to deal with in one way or another.

If it keeps babies from being born doomed, I have to say I'm for it.
