Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party Quote
Dinesh D'Souza: What happened to Carrie Buck?
Jonah Goldberg: Carrie Buck is a tragic and really important story. Carrie Buck is this young woman who was supposed to be quote unquote 'feeble minded'. They wanted to forcibly sterilize her. Her case went all the way up to the Supreme Court.
Carrie Buck: [screaming as she's wheeled in strapped to a gurney]Help me! No!
Doctor: Miss. [puts his hand on her]
Carrie Buck: DON'T TOUCH ME!
Doctor: Miss! MISS! You need to CALM down! I need assistance!
Jonah Goldberg: Oliver Wendel Holmes said that it's okay to forcibly sterilize this young woman, who was not feeble minded, she read, she was perfectly competent, certainly didn't deserve to be forcibly sterilized. And he says in this famous damning line in his opinion, '3 generations of imbeciles is enough!'
Carrie Buck: [pinned down on the operating table]NOOOOOO!
Jonah Goldberg: Forcibly sterilized back in those days meant something. It meant holding this woman down, doing these terrible things to her through the power of the state simply because the state had this idea of what the population should look like and who should have the right to have children. Tens of thousands of people across the United States were sterilized.
