Women's Rights and Issues Concerning Pregnancy
I'm a member of a group on Facebook named "Childfree and Loving It" and made a post about how my sister wants her tubes tied or wants a hysterectomy, but the doctor told her she's not old enough. As far as I'm concerned, if you're 18 or older you should be able to decide for yourself what to do with your own body. Some women on my post commented that they also wanted their tubes tied or hysterectomies or other forms of permanent birth control, but they said some of their doctors wouldn't do it without "spousal approval."
What is this bullshit? Is it the 1950s where women need their decisions made for them by men? I don't get this backwards ass thinking in this country. One woman went so far as to say, "I told the doctor I knew I'd be an unfit mother and he still wouldn't perform the surgery." Again, what the hell is with these doctors deciding for women what to do with their bodies?
I went in to get my vasectomy when I was 30. I thought I was going to get some pushback because I have no children but that didn't happen. I just had to sign a consent form, the doctor explained to me the surgery is meant to be permanent and if I changed my mind it's a $5000 operation. No problem there. I'm not changing my mind. Then they asked how I was going to pay for it. I told them I had my debit card on me. I think I paid $800 to have the procedure done and I was out the door.
What is it with society and this forcing women to bring life into the world? Not everyone should be parents. Some don't want to be parents. Leave it up to the individual what they want done to their bodies.

Look at what happened in Florida--women have no say and I don't understand why they aren't out there raising hell and should have been when Roe Vs, Wade was being discussed to be over-turned!!! |

Good question.....if you find out the answer to why so maniy iin "socieity" including the medical and political arena are so determined to impose their ideas on everybody, let me know. I call it the simple inability to mind their own business.
