Every time this is brought up, and the usual analogies to Nazi Germany are made, people get uncomfortable when it's pointed out that the doctor at the center of this is named Mahendra Amin, that he's an immigrant himself, that he has a history of medicaid fraud (which is likely what this was; more fraud), and is (from his name and photos) obviously non-white:
In some catholic countries, abortion was a long "taboo" topic, and to have aborted - was similar in status to a sex-worker. So there were "angel" makers, woman who aborted without a doctors license. It was dangerous- it was shunned, and it was absolutely necessary, because the normal sex-drive, with no money available for contraceptives - this was the only way out of "constant" reproduction, work-overload and deeper poverty.
If caught in the act of aborting, the very same woman, often with several children already, in fear of getting shunned and ostracized, would throw the "witch" doctor to the wulfes.

Requesting a black-market Vasectomy and then denying it when the light of public opinion falls on it. Such things happen in totalitarian states, like china, but not in democracy with independent courts like the us.
I can see why people might jump right to the Nazis there, but it’s important to know that the Nazis took their cue on forced sterilization from the eugenics movement in the USA. At one point, some 30 states had laws allowing for it.

Biden campaigned on raising the corporate income tax rate from 21% back to 28%. If you have a stock market portfolio (including an IRA or 401(k)) and this proposal is enacted, it will adversely affect the value of your investments. It's also been tied to student loan forgiveness, so people without college degrees who are investing for retirement (and those who've paid off their degrees) will in effect be subsidizing those with student loan debt, which is a demographic that skews affluent:
>Households in the upper half of the income distribution hold more student debt than those in the lower half. The highest-income quartile of households owes about one-third of that debt; the lowest-income quartile owes about 12 percent. People who don’t go to college don’t have student debt. They have lower incomes and more constrained job opportunities than others.

But "Nazi doc sterilizes immigrant women of color" clearly has better optics.
