I don't know about doing it on purpose, but the Tuskegee syphilis experiment comes to mind as one of the ways the result was that. You can also argue that condemning black people to poverty and misery through policing the black body (by segregation, white terrorism, objectification, etc.) is a way to make sure they weren't able to exercise their reproductive rights freely. Really hard to have a fulfilled family life when everything you've ever known regarding your own body is brutalization.
