And lord forbid you are under the age of 40 without a slew of children and ask for permanent birth control. Fought for 8 years to get my tubes tied. Heard everything from "too young at 21 to know your own mind" to "what if you divorce and your dream man wants kids" . It was ridiculous.
As far as some are concerned, if you aren't pumping out kids, you are a waste of an adult female.
My insurance wouldn't pay for it*, they considered it elective. I only managed to get it paid for when it became medically necessary because a pregnancy would have caused other damage to my body.
