I assume that means tubal ligations will be the next thing Republicans make illegal.
Don't have to in Texas and Oklahoma a woman can't legally get one without having at least 3 kids or being a certain age. Think over 25 to 30. All GOP have to do s m extend that range.
Even as a male in the South I had to go through a few hoops to get a vasectomy and the appointments were specifically months apart so I'd have more time to "reconsider"
Same and already had 3 kids and they still made me jump through hoops. But Planned Parenthood did pay for mine. Something men everywhere need to look into. Another reason conservative attack them. We should defend Planned Parenthood.
Holy fuck.
Stop giving them ideas!
Tubal ligations are already regulated in some red states. There are age and childbirth history requirements. A young woman in these states cannot just "decide" to have the procedure. She must meet criteria set by conservatives.
Fucking atrocious. What do these red states actually produce?? Only two things I can think of are Texas instruments and mouser electronics.
Can you confirm that these are state level requirements and not just doctors forcing their opinions on their patients? I was under the impression it was just a thing certain doctors did.
My old coworker who lived in AZ was 21 and couldn't get her tubes tied until some certain age. I don't remember if it's the doctor's office or the law.
Most of the time it's the individual doctors. For example, my wife had to shop around for a hysterectomy to find a doctor willing to do it, despite multiple medical conditions related to her reproductive system that would be resolved by it, and despite being told by several of the same doctors that she was probably never able to have children. Most of them refusing because she hadn't had any children, despite also claiming she couldn't in the first place.
Unfortunately, I'm betting they've had that idea for quite some time.
They already are saying they want to go after contraception.
Arg..... Great.
