Oregon governor apologizes for forced sterilizations
Past eugenics law imposed on hundreds of women
Tuesday, December 3, 2002 Posted: 11:21 AM EST (1621 GMT)
SALEM, Oregon (AP) -- Gov. John Kitzhaber formally apologized Monday for Oregon's past eugenics law that led to
the forced sterilization of hundreds of people.
Girls in reform school, people in mental institutions and poor women selected by welfare workers were among the more
than 2,500 Oregonians subjected to sterilizations under a law that stood from 1917 to 1983.
"To those who suffered, I say the people of Oregon are sorry," Kitzhaber said during a ceremony in the governor's
office. "Our hearts are heavy for the pain you endured."
He is the second governor to atone for state eugenics laws after Virginia Gov. Mark Warner, who also erected a
memorial in May to the first woman sterilized under the policy.
Among the dozens of people who crowded into Kitzhaber's office for Monday's ceremony was Velma Haynes, 68,
who was sterilized at age 15 while living at the Fairview Training Center, a state-run institution for the mentally ill and
retarded.
Haynes called the state's acknowledgment of wrongdoing "long overdue," but praised Kitzhaber's effort to make things
right.
"I want to thank you for taking the time to apologize," Haynes told the governor. "Your apology is appreciated and
accepted."
Not everyone was satisfied. Ken Newman, 61, who said he was given a vasectomy without his consent when he was a
teen living at Fairview, said the governor's remarks don't erase what happened.
"I want more than an apology. I want to be compensated," Newman said. The law was based on the pseudoscientific
movement that sought to prevent people considered "unfit" or "defective" from having children. After 1967, the Oregon
law was chiefly used to sterilize those with mental illness or mental disability.
