[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 187322, member: 138"] Spnadmin ji, Guru fateh. It is an interesting situation. The way I understand it is that our prison system is a kind of closed group mafia where they can make their own rules without any authorization. This may be more common in the female prisons where women are assaulted by the guards themselves and get pregnant. In fact, following is an eye opener from a female prisoner: [url]http://rhrealitycheck.org/article/2007/12/11/powerless-in-prison-sexual-abuse-against-incarcerated-women/[/url] As the original article indicates that Secondly, these doctors were outside contractors which show some kind of money arrangement between the prison managers and the doctors. This is just sterilization in the prison system. In India, during Indira Gandhi’s emergency rule, millions of women were sterilized and many vasectomies were done to men as a part of family planning with the help of her favourite prodigal son Sanjay Gandhi, her heir in waiting before he died in a plane crash. Mainly it was the women who were the victims. The Government owned companies like the Railways who had their own infrastructures like the hospitals were instructed by the Central Government to have these procedures done to the employees. The doctors were given incentives if they met their quotas which included anesthesiologists, ob/gyns, and others related to the procedures. I know this because some members of my own family were those doctors. Now, the question arises why women are more victims of this when men are responsible for the same as well. The article in NY Times on the Nov.7th 2003 gives us the glimpse of it. [url]http://www.nytimes.com/2003/11/07/world/for-sterilization-target-is-women.html[/url] These are the fruits of the patriarchal society the world over. The practice still continues, sad to say, and money is the driving force behind it. Following in the article from last month in Bloomberg News: [url]http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-06-11/india-s-poorest-women-coerced-into-sterilization.html[/url] Family planning is very important for the population control especially in the poor countries which include most of Africa, Asia, and Latin America. But for this to happen, we need collective efforts to educate [I]the populi[/I]. For that to happen we need the help from the religious charities, in this case the Christian ones who are spread around the world to proselytize people. They have the manpower and the networks to do that but they refuse to educate people in this matter. It is against their beliefs to distribute birth control methods like condoms and pills, they claim, which include the mega churches like the Saddleback Church in Southern California whose pastor Rick Warren is very influential especially in Africa and also of course the Catholic Church. In my opinion, if they cared an iota about the humanity that suffers especially the females who cannot plan their lives to forge ahead and be independent because of pregnancies, then only they would be able to claim themselves as men of God. These women would do anything to improve their lives rather than having these unwanted pregnancies. But sadly, these institutions only care to thump their Bibles. It has become the numbers game for them, not what is humane. According to [I]The Bill & Melinda Gates foundation[/I], [url]http://www.gatesfoundation.org/What-We-Do/Global-Development/Family-Planning[/url] They are investing millions to change this trend. I apologise for getting off tracked but I felt compelled to share this information with the fellow members. Thanks & regards Tejwant Singh [/QUOTE]
