The state of Indiana has formally apologised for its programme of legally mandated eugenics which saw around 2,500 "imbeciles", paupers and other undesirables sterilised as required by law. (Why was the Decider(TM) not born in Indiana?) The programme which became law 100 years ago was still in force in 1974.
Indiana. A dyed in the wool red state. Surprise. Surprise.
