A woman with learning disabilities has been ordered to accept contraception (injections) by the Court of Protection in Britain. She pleaded & #39;It’s my body and it’s my life. I should have the choice on what I want.’

Chemical castration is back. https://metro.co.uk/2020/04/21/disabled-woman-must-contraceptive-device-fitted-court-order-judge-rules-12588911/?fbclid=IwAR0NXPZ49tuSxFCclv-bVuJzY9u20gALkbsfdfN6sgsK4RS0Tnh1XFy4Lys">https://metro.co.uk/2020/04/2...

The left in Britain needs to take up the fight against eugenics seriously rather than bickering about whether Keir Starmer might one day invite them to tea. It& #39;s frankly shameful that the main debate in Britain is "sHoUlD I LeAVe?" not "how do we fight fascism and eugenics?"

To the comments saying that allowing her to have children constitutes child abuse or hard decisions have to be made: you& #39;re saying fascism is right because it& #39;s "practical"; it& #39;s obvious that people who have difficulty raising kids could just have, like, support to do it instead

This is not a pro-lifer thread, it is an anti-eugenics thread. The woman in question highlights the same point as I would: it should be *her* fucking choice.

Okay, so regarding this. Absolutely fair crit, as are those regarding trans people& #39;s health care I& #39;ve received. To be clear, what I& #39;m discussing in this thread is representative of a qualitative development in British politics with regard to disability. https://twitter.com/socialistmic/status/1254093549643067392?s=19">https://twitter.com/socialist...

It represents another step in the roll out of a eugenics campaign under a government which explicitly holds eugenics against disabled people as an ideological principle. My outrage and reference to the practice returning refers to this as a legal demand in Britain.
