    Sterilization is not mentioned lmao, the wording is dogshit but they are talking about how when standards of living are raised women can be more than "baby making machines", which is on one hand a really yikesy term to use but one that mainstream media like the BBC has used for places like Iran anyways.

    Actually I should clarify, sterilization is only mentioned in the article to say that forced sterilization had no part of it and that its personal decisions to use contraceptives or surgery to deal with this just like in any country.

        Testimonies are not evidence, otherwise you're basically repeating the Iraq war buildup, your second link is not only entirely testimonies again but repeat the recycled falun gong claim of organ harvesting which has never had evidence supporting it, it also links to Radio Free Asia like come the fuck on.

        This is all on the fucking level of the Naziriyah testimony and testimonies like that, they can never just fucking coalesce into objective fact and as of yet there are not objective facts to back up the outlandish fucking claims that mirror perfectly the US strategy for agitating the population and manufacturing consent.
