Why would colonial powers let subjects control their own reproduction?


Typically when an independant judiciary gets its nose rubbed so deep in evidence they have to rule against it.


Can you give five examples?



Indeed .. and they're both US examples.

In my initial comment I was thinking of four main western countries (there are others), each with multiple court cases that hammered home the core human rights violations inherent in anti-miscegenation laws and forced, often deceptive, abortion policies.

Had the GP commenter here simply asked for an example or an expansion I'd have provided that .. but the "five examples" demand was just .. odd.

They've wandered off with no reply so I suspect that might have been the limit of their rhetoric .. such as it was.


You can't find examples of countries ending miscegenation laws and forced abortion eugenic policies after they became publically embarrassing through lawsuits?

Why five?


"Let" ain't exactly the right word for something people are gonna do no matter how hard a colonial government cracks down on it.

People be fuckin'.
