John Labruzzo is a Republican representative of the Louisiana state congress.
Labruzzo came under fire for controversial statements made on the TV news station CNN in September 2008 concerning methods on reducing welfare recipients. Labruzzo suggested that the government offer poor women $1,000 payments to undergo sterilization via fallopian tube litigation, while providing tax incentives to wealthy woman who bear children. Media and medical officials compared Labruzzo's proposal to the discredited science of eugenics.
