Buck v. Bell (1927) was a supreme court ruling that upheld Virginia's law to sterilize those with strong mental disabilities. Buck, who was considered by the Supreme court to be "feeble minded," was therefore not given due process of law as stated in the 14th amendment and the right to be protected from the state government in respect to life, liberty and property. I am trying to find the court case that overturned this law.
Was Buck v. Bell ever overturned by the supreme court? No Wikipedia, please.?
