The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports that state Rep. John LaBruzzo (R) said yesterday that "he is studying a plan to pay poor women $1,000 to have their Fallopian tubes tied." LaBruzzo worries that people receiving food and housing assistance "are reproducing at a faster rate than more affluent, better-educated residents":

He said he is gathering statistics now. … "What I'm really studying is any and all possibilities that we can reduce the number of people that are going from generational welfare to generational welfare," he said.

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.
