"Sterilized without consent. State paid $147,460." Sticker

A 2013 Center for Investigative Reporting investigation found doctors under contract with the California prison system performed nearly 150 tubal ligations on incarcerated women from 2006 to 2010 without the state-level approvals the rules required. The state auditor's June 2014 report counted 144 tubal ligations from fiscal 2005-06 through 2012-13, found that all but one lacked the required approval of two medical committees, documented consent-process deficiencies in 39 of them, and counted at least 794 other procedures that could have resulted in sterilization. The sticker says "Sterilized without consent. State paid $147,460." and carries the address of the Reproductive Justice page on this site, where the claim sits with its evidence, the best case against it, and the answer. It is sized for a laptop lid or a water bottle. Print partner and vinyl stock stay pending until a physical sample has been checked.
