    They should let them get sterilized! If they don't want kids let them, it's not like the dr is going to pitch in if their patients end up with more kids or help the mother with work, money, ect.... it's not easy
  • I knew I didn't want kids and I didn't want to have periods anymore either. At the time I was 18 with no children. I was able to finally convince my doctor to at least give me an IUD even though I didn't fit their criteria since I didn't already have x number of children. Now I'm 38 I've had 4 IUDs 0 kids and 0 periods. Best decision of my life.

    Yes ladies! Get sterolized before they can use you as a walking incubator! Dr.s are standing in the way. Your body your choice.
  • I had to fight to get my tubes tied (the only option) after having my son at 32, back in 1988, because the hospital in that rural area was Catholic based and had a "rule" that you had to have had three kids or be over 45 years old. I had to go to a smaller hospital the county over to get it done. They think women don't know their own minds.

    I’m getting sterilized soon. 🎊 🎉🎉🎉
  • @passerau
    Thank you, thank you, thank you 👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏 I will donate for this cause, this is a fantastic idea. Ty🙏
  • @mj91212
    Might as well, any children you have now won’t live to see their 30th birthday, and every day that passes reduces the time they’ll have.
  • You are Eeeeve! 💃 Seriously though, why do some people feel the need to micromanage other people's lives? I know they're claiming to be pro-life. But I think in reality it's pro: do as I say
  • @unagaviota
    Sterilization is much better and much healthier in the long term than being on birth control for long periods of time.

    Women, just be you. You are a very valuable person in this world. Only you have the means to procreate. Don’t fall for peer pressure. Make it YOUR CHOICE to be a mother. Nine months is a very long time to give birth to a child and having the man taking full custody after the misunderstood postpartum of women. Be safe. Be you. Be free. You are worth your own happiness. Be happy
  • This is Good News - less crazie serial killers I’m perfectly OK with-NOT seeing the downside in this…!
