In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
October 2, 2020. 
Whereas there is a shameful history in the United States of 
Black, Indigenous, people of color, immigrants, poor peo-
ple, and people with disabilities being subjected to med-
ical procedures without their informed consent; 
Whereas 32 States passed eugenic-sterilization laws, resulting 
in the sterilization of between 60,000 to 70,000 people 
beginning in the early 1900s; 
Whereas 25 percent of Native American women of child-

Whereas incarcerated individuals have continued to face steri-

Whereas, on September 14, 2020, a coalition of organiza-

Whereas a growing number of women are coming forward to 
share stories of unwanted, unnecessary medical proce-

procedures involving their reproductive organs, performed 
without their knowledge or consent; 
Whereas, on September 16, 2020, U.S. Immigration and

Whereas, on September 18, 2020, 4 women came forward

Whereas an initial review of available medical records by 
independent gynecologists raises serious questions about 
whether patients detained at the Irwin County Detention 
Center provided informed consent and whether prevailing 
standards of care were adhered to in their care; and 
Whereas these allegations indicate a failure by U.S. Immigra-

Whereas children go through 6 to 12 diapers each day during 
the 2 to 3 years they wear diapers; 
Whereas purchasing enough diapers to keep a baby or toddler 
clean, dry, and healthy can consume 14 percent of a low- 
wage family’s post-tax income, making it difficult to ob-
tain a sufficient supply; 
Whereas a daily or weekly supply of diapers is generally an 
eligibility requirement for babies and toddlers to partici-
pate in childcare programs and high-quality early edu-
cation programs; 
Whereas, without enough diapers, babies and toddlers risk in-
fections and health problems that may require medical 
attention, and may prevent parents from attending work 
or school, thereby hurting the family’s economic pros-
pects and well-being; 
Whereas addressing diaper need can lead to economic oppor-

for children, thus ensuring all children and families have 
access to the basic necessities required to thrive and 
reach their full potential;
