On the morning of May 3, Abby C. burst into tears when she learned a that leaked draft opinion signaled the U.S. Supreme Court would likely overturn Roe vs. Wade.
Before getting out of bed, the 23-year-old booked a consultation to begin the process of getting sterilized. Abby, who did not want to use her last name for privacy reasons, said her previous gynecologist had dismissed her requests, citing her age. But with the leaked opinion throwing the future of reproductive rights into jeopardy, Abby stood firm in her decision.
“I ended up telling her, this is the option I want,” Abby said. “This is the only answer for me.”
It wasn’t until after she woke up from the procedure — a bilateral salpingectomy, in which her fallopian tubes were removed — that she felt relief.
Following the decision in Dobbs vs. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned the once constitutionally protected right to an abortion, young women and others across the country have increasingly requested sterilization, according to obstetrician-gynecologists who have seen an uptick in Arizona, North Carolina, Texas and Florida.

Many are already bitter hate-filled racist (anti-white) sexist hags.
Seems like some unintended benefits of the SCOTUS ruling.
Awesome. Liberals, a willingly self-limiting destructive class of people.

I had a cheeseburger for dinner last night.
Certainly, no children to care for them in their old age.
“”23-year-old””
Says all that needs to be said. I remember being 23 and decisions I made at that age and younger. I remember telling my daughter and her friends that no one is smart until about 25 and they made fun of me because I kept “upping” the age as they reached 25, then 30, then 35....
Thank goodness none of my decisions at an early age were that drastic but this young woman isn’t going to be able to say the same thing later in life! Stupid - stupid!
Spay and neiter ALL Democrats...it’s for the American children.
Absolutely true - and isn’t it amazing that they don’t feel the need to control their “own bodies” before a pregnancy occurs?
Cause and effect. Great when left to work on its own.
Sterilization: 100% guarantee that a woman will never have an abortion and can lead an immoral life with ‘no consequences’.
(So she thinks.)
This article is media hype. How many young women are being sterilized over this Supreme Court ruling? Very, very few I bet. The media simply likes to find these most extreme cases in order to push an agenda. It’s all propaganda.
Wait until they figure out that they won’t have any spawn to feed into the LGBT+ woodchipper for indoctrination.

Can’t she still get a fertilized egg implant?
Then she could get that abortion, needed for ‘cred’.
Great! Sterilizing the mentally deficient, willingly. A Margaret Sanger dream, without government mandate.
A salpingectomy is tying or removal of Fallopian tubes. The ovaries and uterus remain, so the monthly cycle continues. A hysterectomy takes the uterus, ovaries and Fallopian tubes. Instant menopause.
Depends on what they are working with as a definition of “.sterilization”
In the past, sterilization meant (1) the removal of the uterus (hysterectomy) or (2) removal of the ova. Fallopi-ectomy (or is it -otomy since they stay in?) was considered birth-control post birth.
But we are living in different times...
What about the babies that were 'supposed to be" in that family line?
Apparently, medical problems, such ectopic pregnancies, miscarries and rapes account for only 1% of the medical procedure. The rest involve avoiding stretch marks and tan line concerns, as well as some doubt as to who to sue for child support...
An unforeseen but a GREAT consequence and a benefit to society!
