NOFI, but the USA opted out of that statute in 2002.
Anyway, forced sterilization of imbeciles and the like happened until the early '70s in the USA, Sweden, and a few other countries that I don't feel like looking up right now, never mind that its illegality was probably already implicated by the above-mentioned "right to procreate", as stated in the Universal Declaration of the Rights of Man. Not that that bothered anyone back then.
