Research shows that the children of alcoholics and drug addicts are at much higher risk for abuse and neglect than other children. When the woman's seven children were at last taken away because of other abuse, she began selling her n ieces' bodies. Barbara Harris is intimately familiar with the plight of drug-afflicted babies. When that campaign failed, Harris decided to pursue a more market-oriented approach. Alas, Tromble y's description of the program is also wrong.
Women can also choose from several temporary forms, such as implants, IUDs, or injections.
Moreover, financially coercive social p olicy is nothing new to this country. Thus it seems slightly disingenuous to get squeamish about this particular program, which happens to be voluntary and privately funded. For the moment, let's ignore the implied corollary that it's morally preferable for addicts to continue producing drug-afflicted babies than to risk the possibility that someone might seek birth control w ithout fully weighing her options. Assume these women are driven purely by their lust for more drugs. Of course, some women have legitimate reasons for seeking a permanent fix.
