  • Over a period of 60 years, the state forcibly sterilized over 2,600 Oregonians.
    From 1923 to 1983, Oregon law allowed for compulsory sterilization of those deemed unfit for reproduction. It was part of a broader eugenics movement to remove “undesirable” individuals from the gene pool.
    Today, some Oregonians still live with the consequences of that outdated law.
    In commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), OPB is joining with other public media partners around the country to promote inclusion for people with intellectual and physical disabilities. The “Move To Include” initiative highlights the unique and diverse stories of people with disabilities. These stories and additional resources are available to teachers, families, and students through the PBS LearningMedia collection.
    Move To Include is sponsored locally by Relay Resources.

He lives today and is well cared for, a sturdy soul of 61 years, bless him and his life’s journey. ❤️ My prayers go out to everyone who lived there and their family’s that love them. Let us all be diligent to keep close watch on government and systems so History does not repeat our mistakes of the past.

      Alejandra Trippin Thank you. I have found over the years that when I do oblige people with research, they aren’t really interested in it at all, but are only interested in arguing and supporting their world view. Which is more than likely a propaganda programmed world view anyway, and those are nearly impossible to break through with any amount of reason and logic.

      Were moved out of the only home they ever knew. Fairview was like a town with churches,pool,clothing store,gym,snack shop,ball court,2lg dining restaurants,apartments,summer parades,lots of activities,and many friends for all. Most females were on birth control because the state and federal government deemed having sex was a human right and staff were not allowed to stop it unless someone was getting hurt. The patients took “much” advantage of this right. If birth control hadn’t been prescribed by each female patients doctor we would have thousands of babies born(some disabled and some not). What was to be done with these children with the institution shut down, families of patients not wanting contact and the inability of probably 98% of patients not able to care for themselves let aline a baby.

    The woman that spoke should not have been forced to have a sterilization surgery (unless she was a preditor which is highly unlikely). Many should not have children, but that doesn't make it acceptable. But personally I have no problem with rapists being sterilized or chemically castrated.

      @@gregcarlson8438 I basically agree with you. A lot of people are charged when it's not the case My neighbor for example is technically a sex offender but shouldn't have been charged. He had a toxic relationship with his girlfriend of several years and she pressed rape charges on him going back throughout their relationship even though she kept coming back to the house after she filed a restraining order. Maybe he raped her, maybe she was just a vindictive psycho 🤷. But a situation like that is not the same as a preditory rapist or molester.

      I think what he was getting at was the famous planned parenthood, which sprang from the Progressive mind of eugenics advocate Margaret Sanger. Back in the 30's she gave a speech in front of Hitler, and some suggest this gave him the idea and justification for the final solution. Progressive, socialist Progressive, democratic socialist, same page in the same book.
