The U.S. sterilized one-third of Puerto Rican women. By 1968, over 35% of women of childbearing age had been sterilized—the highest rate in the world. It started in the 1930s. They called it La Operación. Told women it was reversible. It wasn't. They targeted poor women, Black women, women in rural towns. Population control disguised as healthcare. The program ended in the 1970s. No apologies. No reparations. This is the eugenics campaign they never admitted. 🇵🇷 La Operación Puerto Rico steril
