re: "it's looking for people who were forcibly sterilized."

Forcible (or fraudulent, or underage, or otherwise right-deprving) sterilizations are the only ones the state should be apologizing for.

Voluntary sterilizations aren't the "fault" of anyone except the consenting adult who did the volunteering. It's not too different from a huge "Leona!!" tattoo a stupid 21 year old pays someone to draw across both butt cheeks one night and then later regrets (except that I was REALLY drunk at the time!). Bad decisions get made. You move on.

"North Carolina was the third state within the last year to formally apologize for sterilizing its citizens. It is the first to look at how to help those who are still alive to recover.

"The difficulty is we have nothing to measure against because no other state has done this," Slawinski said.

Another difficulty is the fact that the state does not know which subjects may have approved their own sterilizations and which did not. One option being considered would be for the state to advertise that it's looking for people who were forcibly sterilized. They could then request to see their own records and ask to appear before a special panel that would determine how the person should be compensated."
