The rate of voluntary sterilization among young women jumped abruptly after Dobbs, and there’s no reason to believe it will drop off

    I’m very glad I went ahead and got my nads snipped over my spouse having an incredibly invasive surgery for sterilization. Any guy afraid to get one is being a baby about it

      Some people are really averse to medical procedures, we shouldn’t judge others for their bodily autonomy.

      That said, I did similar to you. My wife has some ovarian cysts and was warned that a tubal ligation would likely cause more and then she’d probably have to have surgery, maybe even an oophorectomy.

      I had concerns about the risks of tubal ligation already but that sealed it for sure. Got snipped right after my 40th birthday.
