This is something I have heard anecdotally from healthcare workers in my life who have told me that contraceptives are routinely given to disabled women with for example the logic that they cannot take care of their menstrual hygiene themselves. Which for some is probably true, but in these privatized care homes this tends to not be negotiated on an individual level. So while on paper the sterilizations have ended, these people are often still not choosing this themselves. Disabled women still have to justify having children of their own. This is what I mean with "real consent".
