He implies this would be free to the patient.,
It is actually not a horrible idea. How many kids are born to absentee
fathers in that community? How many girls are incapable of actually
providing proper prenatal care? What is the "accidental" pregnancy
rate?

I know you love to blather about our horrible infant mortality problem
and the plight of our children born out of wedlock but you are
unwilling to look at the root of the problem,
I understand that the bible thumpers who think every sperm is sacred
would want him out but he sounds like the perfect democrat.
Weren't you people raising hell a year or so ago because birth control
WASN'T free?
BTW I also think abortions should be free to Medicaid patients.

That is the cheapest solution for a whole host of social problems.

He was pushing the concept of forced sterilizations, something that was
tried in the past in this wonderful country and also in Nazi Germany.
Interesting how GOPers, even the crazier ones, still oppose making
voluntary, less intrusive birth control available at no or low cost to
low income teens, eh?

I would have no problem if the "force" was simply access to free
services from the public.
There is no shortage of force used by the government, starting with
how they collect the money for these "free" services.

That's not the sort of "force" the GOP lunatic was advocating. I have no
objection to the *offer* of free or low cost birth control to women who
want it. There usually is no need for "surgical" birth control.
