ACLU calls the program 'unconstitutional'
Inmates in a Tennessee county can get time off their sentences for having a vasectomy or birth control implant, a policy that the American Civil Liberties Union calls "unconstitutional."
General Sessions Judge Sam Benningfield signed a standing order in May to give prisoners in the White County, Tenn. jail 30 days credit on their sentence if they undergo one of the procedures, NewsChannel 5 reports.
Women who participate are given Nexplanon birth control implant in their arm, which prevents pregnancy for up to four years. Men are given a vasectomy, also free, by the Tennessee Department of Health.

ReplyDeleteDouble the deal and give a prostatectomy too. It'll only be trouble later.
ReplyDeleteI think the female version should be mandated after two out of wedlock children.

Mine only cost me 5 bucks, but I had very good insurance back then. It would probably cost me thousands nowadays.

Why? Do you think a vasectomy would stop anyone from reoffending?
