“David
Duke, the Louisiana legislator and former KKK Grand Wizard, introduced
legislation whereby women on welfare who agreed to Norplant implantation would
be paid one hundred dollars annually” (209).
Please note that the author chooses to read into this that the only ones
impacted by this legislation are black women.
When I read this statement I do not see any mention of race, only
condition for eligibility that I see is welfare receipt. Surely there are women in Louisiana on
welfare who are not black women.
