Eugenics' Oregon connection you inquired about.  Margaret Sanger's legacy.

 In 1917 the Oregon State Legislature, passed a bill titled, "To Prevent Procreation of Certain Classes in Oregon."  Oregon State Board of Eugenics,  presided over the forced sterilization of more than 2,600 Oregon residents from 1917 to 1981.  For more than seventy years, the State Board was involved in the US eugenics movement, using theories partly constructed from genetics to control the reproductive health of citizens.  During the 1970s, many male and female teenagers at homes for wayward teens, (Fairview Hospital and Training Center)   were injected with sedatives and sterilized against their will. -Nancy Rae Cook v. State of Oregon (1972), 17-year-old Nancy Rae Cook appealed the Board of Social Protection's ruling that she be sterilized due to mental illness resulting from childhood physical and sexual abuse - See more at: http://embryo.asu.edu/pages/oregon-state-board-eugenics#sthash.955F7Qmg.dpuf
