Shouldn't this have an infobox? -- Natalinasmpf 04:27, 25 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The Oklahoma Statute required a person be convicted three or more times, not twice. See Stone, Contstitutional Law, 5th Ed. page 769, Aspen Publishers, 2005.

What's an infobox exactly? It might be interesting to create some templates about Eugenics, we seem to have a fair amount of article on that. Furthermore, the article ends by saying that this case discouraged many states of further sterilizations; however it also states that the majority of sterilizations were not done in a judicial context, and also that many states continue to have such laws. Could further precisions be given, especially concerning this later assertion. Until when? How many more people were sterilized? Lapaz 16:18, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I think the end of the article accurately explains the ways in which it did and didn't have effect (it had some effect by making the legal situation more quesitonable, but did not have the strict, direct effect that it is often attributed). --Fastfission 21:20, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
