AZ GOP vice-chair calls for sterilizing poor women: If you want a baby, get a job

The recalled Arizona senate president who proposed the state’s controversial anti-immigration law said he could fix public assistance programs by forcibly sterilizing women who receive aid and by requiring drug tests for all recipients.

“You put me in charge of Medicaid, the first thing I’d do is get Norplant, birth-control implants, or tubal ligations,” said Russell Pearce on his weekly talk radio program. Then we’ll test recipients for drugs and alcohol, and if you want to [reproduce] or use drugs or alcohol, then get a job.”

He suggested drastic cuts to food assistance for needy families, reported Phoenix New Times, and he urged strict limits items that could be purchased what little help was available.

“No cash for Ding Dongs and Ho Hos, you’d only get money for 15-pound bags of rice and beans, blocks of cheese and powdered milk – all the powdered milk you can haul away,” Pearce said. “If you want a steak or frozen pizza, then you’d have to get a job.”

1. I'm confused. Sterlize them, or bully them into forgoing abortions and contraceptives?

Before you can have access to my reproductive system, you have to at least figure out what you want.

And once you do figure it out, go to hell anyway.

2. I wouldn't be surprised if some of this becomes

Reality in ten years as resources tighten and cuts are made. I feel horrible believing such a thing but Republicans are brutal.

For some reason I think this man have eaten his share of Dingdongs and steak all his life - with little or no care for his fellow sitizien... In fact I would say if he want others to live on a tight line - why do not he start first - lets say a year on rice and beans - cheese and powdered milk as an beginning - and then he can came back and say if he liked it.. Of course he also have to live as a poor man - powerless - and in some of the rather unpleasant places in Phonix...

4. Actually

I would rather see him stranded on an island with nothing but Ham & Motherfuckers to eat.



Ham&MFs was the single worst box o brown stuff in the Super C Ration sweepstakes.

I was an REMF in Nam. Field Radio Repair. On my first tour (highlight: Tet '68) I was at a forward artillery base for four months with little, if anything useful to do.

Gimme some of these:



And one of these:



Grab your P-38:



Take the claymore apart for the C-4 (C-4 burns really hot - NOTE: DO NOT STOMP ON BURNING C-4) and before you know it your stomach will be rolling like you just drank a gallon of colonoscopy stuff.

The worse the meal - the better the army says a old motto from greece - and I guess it is true - as the Spartans was one of the firsest and harderst soldiers around..

5. Given time these people are turning into hitler

I suspect it's not just the poor but also skin color and of course they don't want to be that honest about it. YET!

[proReality]

11. They already believe

only those with darker skin are poor and unworthy. They're seriously delusional.

6. He just like republican Jesus

7. Fuck you Russell Pearce, you fat Nazi pig.

[PADemD]

8. If poor women don't have babies, what will Republicans use for cannon fodder for their next war?

[albino65]

9. I am totally for sterilization

However, I think we should sterilize all male R/W'ers to prevent them from reproducing. Eventually all the old white men will, die and there can be peace in the world.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

10. If there's a eugenics program it should weed out bastards like this guy.

[tanyev]

12. And then Pearce will scold them for not staying at home to raise their children.

[Nac Mac Feegle]

13. This guy has been known in Arizona as a REALLY nasty piece of work

A really fanatic right-winger. He was recalled by his district (Mesa), for ethics violations. Mesa is known for being very conservative and very Mormon, yet he lost his recall by a handy margin.

He's known for his statements of this type. He embodies the "I've got mine, screw everyone else." attitude.


There's a campaign going on by some group or another to get their hands on some state pension money savings generated by an initiative from last election cycle. The "pro" side is saying that the money will be used to help the mentally ill. I'm calling bullshit. This state has 3 ways of dealing with the mentally ill: 1) ignore them and hope they die of heat stroke; 2) arrest them and kill them in jail; 3) elect them to office as Republicans.

15. geez, it is too early in the morning to start drinking because

of woman-hatred like this (on second thought, it must be five pm somewhere)

they do not even bother to try and pretend any longer. and, gee, russel, who the hell is going to do your scutwork if poor women cannot provide your slaves? okay, let's see--no abortion, which is a woman's right to choose, vs. forced sterilization, NO CHOICE for her. wow.
