Forced Sterilization Still Exists in the U.S.

You are here: Home / Archive / Feature Stories / Forced Sterilization Still Exists in the U.S.
Published: September 12, 2021 by RHJ Producer

Entertainer Britney Spears claims in court that her conservator father won’t let her remove birth control. It’s merely the most celebrated recent case of something most people find surprising: forced sterilization still exists in the United States, usually in cases of guardianship. Experts explain its legality, history, and use.
