By the 1970's, 1/3 of Puerto Rican women were sterilized, many being involuntarily performed after giving birth to a 2nd child. Effects are still seen across the island with fertility rate of women being 1.18 children per woman compared to the 3.07 children per woman in 1971. 5/6 https://t.co/rJXHfIeD0Y — PolitiTweet.org

Today, the secretive trials would be considered unethical and unsafe. At the same time, Puerto Rican women were encouraged to undergo sterilization as a form of birth control. Many choose sterilization over the pill because of the side effects. 4/6 https://t.co/xD1dBOSEBc — PolitiTweet.org

We can & should celebrate the pill as a form of female empowerment but we can't forget it came at a price that still has an impact on Latino communities today. For more information watch “La Operacion” a documentary about the trials and sterilization. 6/6 https://t.co/EC7ewHmISU — PolitiTweet.org
