Approximately 100,000 Americans have sickle cell disease, and some 90% of them are Black. Many are treated as if their pain isn’t real when they arrive at the emergency room. A new STAT investigation examines how women with sickle cell disease have been pressured by doctors into sterilizations that they didn't necessarily want or fully understand. In a way, the pattern of tubal ligations and hysterectomies with questionable consent is just an extreme version of something much more common: a kind of verbal sterilization, when doctors express the pernicious belief that people with sickle cell disease cannot or should not have kids.
