"Project Prevention, formerly known as Children Requiring a Caring Kommunity or C.R.A.C.K., developed a program to pay current and former substance using men and women US$300 to obtain a tubal ligation, vasectomy, or long-acting reversible contraceptive (LARC), which include intrauterine devices and subdermal implants(National Advocates for Pregnant Women, 2018). Project Prevention originated in California; however, the organization expanded throughout the United States, and as of 2010, into the United Kingdom. Project Prevention emerged alongside state-administered cash incentive programs for mothers receiving government assistance who obtained Norplant subdermal implants. Incentive-driven LARC programs were proposed or enacted in Arizona, Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Florida, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Washington"
"In 2009, Colorado launched the Colorado Family Planning Initiative (CFPI), a state-administered program that provided free LARCs, tubal ligations, and vasectomies to people with low incomes(Dube, 2015). By 2015, Colorado reported a 48%decline in teen births through expanded access to and financing of LARCs (Wolk, 2015). The positive public response to the CFPI (Budner, 2018;Leins, 2019; Tarico, 2017; Turnbull, 2019) coincides with the state of Colorado reporting program outcomes, which crossed liberal and conservative political beliefs. Providing free and accessible contraceptives, improving maternal health outcomes for low-income women, and promoting public awareness of state family planning services address concerns of liberal constituents. Conservative constituents’ concerns are also addressed by reducing abortion rates and saving an estimatedUS$66.1–US$69.6 million in Medicaid, Temporary Assistance to Needy Families, Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP), and Women, Infants, and Children"
The latter half of this quote, in my opinion perpetuates the idea of "welfare" queens and how if they were "sterilized" the government wouldn't have to fund welfare programs
