- In 2022, “Republican state Senator Randy Smith told voters that he planned to sponsor a bill proposing that those convicted of drug offenses voluntarily sterilize themselves to receive a reduced sentence. ‘If you want to lessen your prison sentence, if you're a man, you can get a vasectomy so you can't produce anymore,’ Smith told audience members, according to the Cumberland Times-News. ‘If you're a woman, then you get your tubes tied, so you don't bring any more drug babies into the system.’”[3]
