I like this idea

Project Prevention is a California based organization which has decided it would prevent many tragic pregnancies if drug-addicted individuals could be prevented from reproducing. They want to do this by giving them cash to become sterilized. Read the whole article here. The following is a sample.

Project Prevention’s sterilization crusade stopped in Pasadena Friday to offer more cash to drug-addicted men and women who agree to become sterilized or use long-term birth control.

Barbara Harris founded Project Prevention in 1997 after adopting four of eight babies born to a Los Angeles woman addicted to drugs.

The group offered $500 to each of the first 100 women who agree to use birth control methods like inter-uterine devices or tubal ligations. In the past, the group offered $300 and men are also eligible if they agree to a vasectomy.

The increased cash incentives are part of a national grassroots campaign to raise the total number of clients served by the organization to 2,006 by the end of 2006.
