Women who are unable to properly care for a child due to their addiction, psychiatric illness or mental handicap should be able to receive an injection or a contraceptive implant under duress.
This is stated in a petition from the "Consultative group on compulsory contraception". Cees de Groot - former juvenile judge and former vice president of the Rotterdam District Court - has sent the plea to the Lower House for consideration.
The controversial petition is supported by, among others, Heleen Dupuis, retired professor of medical ethics and former VVD senator. That writes the AD.
The expert group wants to regulate by law that the Child Care and Protection Board and the Public Prosecutor can request the court to impose mandatory contraception on someone. In principle, the coercive measure is temporary, until conditions improve.
