(METAIRIE, La.) Sept. 24 -- A plan to pay women to have their tubes tied. That's what a Louisiana state representative is proposing.

State Rep. John LaBruzzo, R-Metairie, says he'd offer women on welfare $1,000 to get their tubes tied. LaBruzzo says welfare recipients are reproducing faster than more affluent, tax-paying residents of Louisiana. His plan to slow the growth of welfare rolls would be completely voluntary.

Some opponents of the plan call it racist.

What do you think? Should women be paid to have their tubes tied? Go to our homepage and vote in our hot button poll.

I thought this was funny.
It is a brilliant idea, and calling it racist, is in itself a racist act.
