Unfortunately, it’s often not easy to do. Women have a notoriously difficult time convincing fertility doctors to sterilize them because “well what if you change your mind some time in the future?” or “well what if you eventually meet a man who wants kids?”. Yeah. Basically, your wants and desires take back-seat to some hypothetical future you, or some hypothetical future man’s wants and desires. Unfortunately, even some of my blue state friends have faced major road blocks in this quest. It’s a disease that’s only going to get worse if the Republicans take over the executive. :(
Once upon a time, reddit had a sub with a sidebar link to a community-sourced document on US doctors friendly towards women having bodily autonomy. I wonder if that has migrated elsewhere. Certainly too dangerous having that posted on a place like reddit anymore. With some states issuing warrants to get phone access to location and period tracking apps to hunt for women who might have had abortions, we have to think about how we’re sharing stuff like this online.
