North Carolina had one of the longest running state eugenics programs in the US, from 1929 to 1974. About a decade ago, the state funded a $10 million compensation program for people who were involuntarily sterilized. That made national news. Not sure whether other states did the same. In any case, a bit of history that too many people have forgotten.

I think that was around the time marital take was outlawed for the first time also. So women who were estranged, living separately from their husbands, often unable to get divorced easily could be legally rape by their husbands…because all we are good for is sex and childbearing. See the connection? I distinctive remember it making the news when I was a tween thinking, WTF?
