Overpopulation is a real global problem. In America, dependence on government assistance is also a real issue for some communities. However, addressing inherent inequalities in public education, access to child care, family planning services, health care…could possibly be a less intrusive (and less nazi-like) means of achieving Mr. LaBruzzo’s goals. Of course that would take a lot more work. But Eugenics? Geez.
Funny that I just used the word “hysterical” in my last comment. I must have uterus on the brain.
