Case for sterilizing the poor in Texas sparks debate
Richmond Texas welfare leader Hilmar G Moore defends his controversial call for sterilization of welfare parents. He cites mail responses while denying race or sex targeting, calls critics' views Hitler like and signals TV appearance to explain his stance. Moore remains a longtime politician and rancher who helped desegregate local facilities yet supported white primaries. He argues welfare should aid children only and suggests sterilization for those who repeatedly have more children while on welfare, though he says this is not state policy.
