The Hawaii bill won't go anywhere; it's flagrantly unconstitutional.
Sounds like a political maneuver to me. I don't know much about Hawaiian politics, maybe Cabanilla is just trying to pad her resume.
On the sterilization program: the idea that free sterilization of obese men will reduce the prevalence of obesity in the next generation is ridiculous. (1) most takers have already had all the kids they want; and (2) in any case the heritability of obesity is too small in the population at large for any effect to be seen.
