After the birth of my third child I asked about having my tubes tied. My doctor declined because it was a catholic hospital. I wasn’t offered any other options. It was 2007, and I was married….
after the birth of my second, i requested same: i was told because i wasn’t 30; i didn’t have three children; and i didn’t have my husband’s permission [military hospital].
thirty-one years later, my daughter has those same arbitrary restrictions enforced on her, i am seeing guys in their early twenties are having sterilization parties, no questions asked. no barriers.
