While we often discuss the economic and social safety nets of the New Deal, there was a darker undercurrent involving forced sterilization. This episode examines how FDR’s administration navigated the pervasive eugenics movement of the 1930s, particularly through the lens of Social Security eligibility. We explore the influence of Harry Laughlin, whose pseudo-scientific standards shaped policy debates, and the tragic cases like Carrie Buck’s that highlighted the clash between progressive reform and coercive state power. You will hear about the legal battles in states like Virginia and California, where sterilization laws were challenged but largely upheld. The conversation also looks at the women who fought against these policies from within the system, including members of the Black Cabinet, and how the legacy of these early twentieth-century decisions continues to resonate in modern bioethics and public health policy discussions. #Eugenics #NewDeal #FDR #SocialSecurity #HarryLaughlin #CarrieBuck #VirginiaSterilizationLaw #BuckvBell #MaryMcLeodBethune #BlackCabinet #FrancesPerkins #PublicHealthHistory #Bioethics #AmericanHistory #1930s #ConstitutionalLaw #StateGovernment #ForcedSterilization #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
