Seattle's Children's Hospital

has admitted it broke the law when it went ahead to sterilize profoundly disabled "Ashley X" as part of her so-called "treatment."

Note her parents still justify this shit. If it were a so-called "normal" child involved, the parents would be charged with child abuse.

The advocacy group, WPAS, a statewide nonprofit organization, says that without that court order, the surgery violated Ashley's constitutional and common-law rights.

Ashley's parents did not respond to interview requests, but they have written on their Web site that they believed the surgery was legal because Ashley will never be in a situation to choose to become pregnant. The sterilization was a side effect of the surgery, not the primary intent, they said.

These morons have no business having children, much less one disabled, if they are so fucking ignorant of the law.
