More women are seeking sterilization since Roe vs. Wade was overturned
LA Times ^ | 19 July 2022 | Melissa Gomez

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.

“The lawmakers will probably pass a law making others pay for patients elective procedure.”

What do you mean “will”? Oregon has had that for years and recently topped it off by a law giving that coverage to illegal aliens.

If so, that just proves abortion was used for birth control.

This phony story is still a kind of proof for God’s design: “Abby” is FORCED to comply with biological reality, whichever way she turns. By thumbing her nose at His plan she can only pursue self-destruction.

Narrative, narrative. It’s all about the narrative. It’s so urgent, so dire, she booked her own sterilization before she even got out of bed. Sure, Mike.

Like the 10 year old that was raped and impregnated by an illegal immigrant. She did not need to leave Ohio for an abortion. She could have had one under the life of mother clause because 10 year olds have a very low survivability rate from pregnancies.

“abortion is used 99%+ as birth control”

Yes, it is. I knew I didn’t want any more after I had my daughter at 19 so I had my tubes tied at 24. Never regretted it.

“leads to her remove her Fallopian tubes.”

Removed or tied off? Can the sterilization be undone?

Why not just limit your sexual partners to neutered males?

Why didn’t they sterilize in the first place, rather than having multiple abortions?

Does this procedure that this gal had stop her from having her periods? It would be too funny if it didn’t.

For those of you who still think the pro-abortion side is about "rights" and not population control.

It's becoming more and more clear that the left wants us to eat bugs, die early and not procreate.

How old are you? If you’re less than 75, I can guarantee you that one day you will come to rue your decision to sterilize yourself.

A perfect solution for these strong, independent women who are subservient to men.

Either way, they won’t be there, this way, they won’t have been dismembered alive in their mothers uterus to effect that end.

Oh, BS.

The desperate MSM makes up this crap and then searches diligently to find one or two names so they can frame it as a “trend.”

They do this all the time.

Now they will have to adopt the children they wanted to abort.
