Show Notes
New Mexico lawmakers are proposing memorials to investigate a dark history of forced sterilizations, particularly of Indigenous women and women of color. Representative Patricia Roybal Caballero shares her personal experience and sponsors House Memorial thirty-two, aiming to examine the full scope and lasting effects. In the nineteen seventies, thousands of women were sterilized without proper consent, creating deep distrust among Native women seeking care today. The Senate has passed its version, and the House version awaits a floor vote. If passed, New Mexico could become the first state to officially investigate and acknowledge these abuses.
