Since its allowed for ‘the health of the pregnant female’ it should be mandatory that she have her tubes tied at that time

After all another pregnancy would be dangerous also ...

LOL   Well, you know that is not actually true.   I believe a physician might say there could be a temporary condition that could be corrected or resolved before another pregnancy might occur.

There are no absolutes and forced sterilization is a bridge to far.

I personally believe that a woman should choose to do anything to carry a baby to birth in spite of a Doctor's opinion.   Babies can live and thrive even after only 22 weeks nowadays.

Willow was born at just 22 weeks' gestation, weighing 1 pound, 5 ounces. A doctor told the couple there was no hope that she would survive.

Born at 22 weeks, baby defies odds to survive, thrive
