Again, Is there a national concern with women being systematically sterilized in accordance with US policy? I doubt it. This thread appears to be about a few anecdotes. Do you think it policy or anecdotes or other Let's say I am right and it is anecdotes. Then treat them accordingly (ie did a particular doctor commit malpractice: this should be his individual problem).
Why are you asking me a question that has nothing to do with my post?

I am asking who you're advising exactly. I am talking about the second part of your post, you're returning to the first part for some reason. Why exactly did you bring that up in this thread?

It's very generous of you to assume you're right, but I'll have to decline that uh selfless offer.

Fake news: https://lawandcrime.com/high-profil...-mass-hysterectomies-at-ice-detention-center/

UPDATE, 12:11 p.m., Friday, Sept. 18: The Associated Press reported that more migrant women had come forward and alleged that they did not agree to surgical procedures, but AP also said that its review of the matter “did not find evidence of mass hysterectomies as alleged in a widely shared complaint filed by a nurse at the detention center.”

Here I am talking about this statement: " But the whole issue can be avoided if people do not violate US law. There are legal ways to enter the US that do not involve any of the problems reviewed in this thread. "

Suggesting that AP found nothing says nothing when it comes to why you said that in this thread.

You ask if we cannot criticize people. I'm writing, not if you are just making fake news. I am not finding in this thread convincing evidence that US policy holds that if a nubile woman illegally enters the US, she is to be sterilized. At best you have a few anecdotes where an individual MAY deserve that criticism. For such an individual, please, critisize away.

Yes, in response to you saying that people should just not come in illegally.

Okay that's kind of creepy that you wanna describe it that way, I'm not sure why. Can you try not to do that and stick to less editorializing with the nubile crap?

Anyways, you still have it citing that more came forward saying they didn't agree to the procedures.


Regardless, I am taking issue with your apparent stance that abuse is okay if they came in illegally. Because you said all the problems here can be avoided if they just don't come in illegally.

Not sure what "crap" you are writing of... you object to the term nubile? Are there women who are not nubile complaining of being sterilized against their will?
I disagree with you about "abuse" depending upon what you define as abuse.
I can feel abused if I get a parking ticket even if I deserve it. To avoid getting such a ticket, I best not park illegally.
A murderer doesn't want to be separated from his kids, which will happen if he is convicted of murder. Don't murder people.
You don't like the detention centers and the way they operate in the US? Don't violate our laws. Very, very simple.

As an issue of national concern, this sounds like fake news.
As an issue of syntax, these two ideas are not causally linked.

But the whole issue can be avoided if people do not violate US law. There are legal ways to enter the US that do not involve any of the problems reviewed in this thread.
Republicans have found ways to be pro-genocide. If you break even a misdemeanor law while having dark skin, you will be sterilized against your will to protect society to prevent you from turning out any more genetically-compelled criminals. This all totally ethical and moral.

Which things in this thread are perfectly okay to be doing to the detainees again?

Separating children from the adults they had been accompanying takes the lead. I'm sure there are others that object to the very detention itself. That some holding facilities include chain linked fences.
Do you find any of these things objectionable?

Okay, but why are you talking about them in *this* thread?

And yeah, they're pretty objectionable and unnecessary.

From the article, this quote was interesting.

" Rivera, citing ICE data, said that since 2018 “only two individuals at Irwin County Detention Center were referred to certified, credentialed medical professionals at gynecological and obstetrical health care facilities for hysterectomies in compliance with National Commission on Correctional Health Care (NCCHC) standards.” "

Interesting how? Not sure what conclusions to draw from that on its own

The child separation issue was raised in this thread. That while it's main topic is about anecdotes suggesting it is US policy to sterilize nubile women illegally entering the USA, there is an over all subtext of objection to the very notion of border protection.

I think you are writing, for example, that you object to child separation yourself, correct?

I think all things considered (the need for a punitive element as a response to violation of our law, that children may not be detained in adult facilities, the real concern of sex trafficing, using babies as human shields, rape and abuse) such separation is justified. The way to avoid this? Stop breaking our laws and criminally crossing our borders. Wildly simple.

@Specter Von Baren too: correct me if I'm wrong but I think the quote shows this is NOT a systemic problem. It may not even be a problem.

I didn't realize you considered human rights border protection. Anyways, it isn't so you're wrong there. It's about how we treat them in these facilities not about 'border protection'. Once they're in there how they are treated is a matter of human rights.

I think you are writing, for example, that you object to child separation yourself, correct?
Yes, but my stance that you asked for does not rectroactively means it's chill to suggest that we shouldn't look into how they're treated because of a desire to be callous and just say they shouldn't come anyways instead of considering whether the treatment is fine.

Pretty bad points. Punitive element needn't involve children, that's just fucked up. Not being in adult facilities should be for their benefit, not detriment to fulfill some urge to punish people. If that is a problem they should seek more humane solutions. Yeah, no, real concern doesn't mean separate them from their families. They're being detained as is, not tossed out to traffickers.

"The way". It's not the only way, and further that's reductive, not just simple. It's purely meant to be cruel and treat them as inhuman. Anyone considering it rationally can still consider the aspect of whether the way they are being threated is okay. It's not a one simple side solution, just as the answer to police brutality isn't to just tell people not to break laws. That's just a disgusting take because one can work on multiple ends of something. You treat one part as immutable for no reason.[/QUOTE]

Assuming I'm reading it correctly (No guarentees there with me) it means that only two women were officially sent to a gynecologist from that facility since 2018 which is less than the number suggested by the whistle blower which means either the whistle blower is making things up or the other women were sent there unofficially and thus I would assume that means this is not a systemic issue but a problem with a specific person.

Of course border protection is human rights. In particular, it is about the rights of those legally within the USA themselves and the rights of those going through tough legal processes to come here legally. I personally have a buddy trying to get a woman he married in another country to join him here in the USA. It's been years and now with COVID, everything is shut down. To my knowledge, everything I know about border protection is if anything, inadequate to the task of protecting those 2 groups. And they count, by far, first, ahead of those that would disregard the people of the USA, their rights, laws, customs, etc.
