Jeez, Sid, here you've got a state employee who rapes a severely mentally retarded victim, and your response is "Let's sterilize the retarded"? Don't you think your priorities are a tad out of whack? How about let's ensure that state employees NEVER in any way abuse the people who are under their care whether mentally ill, retarded, anything else. That story is about a terrible abuse of trust against an innocent victim, completely unable to take care of herself, and your response is let's sterilize her? Why? So she can be thrown to the rest of the male employees of that institution and used any way they please, without the unpleasant consequence of a pregnancy? I knew you were conservative, but Jesus Christ, does conservatism preclude humanity?
