Mass sterilization did not begin in earnest until the 1920s. California, for example had already sterilized some 2500 people before 1921, and had nearly doubled that number by 1928.<ref>https://www.uvm.edu/~lkaelber/eugenics/CA/CA.html.</ref> Elsewhere, other States’ eugenic sterilization numbers rose as well--bolstered, in part, but the U.S. Supreme Court Decision <i>Buck v. Bell</i> (1927).
