  1. No one wants to reverse it! We want it to be permanent! Stop acting like people will change their minds, we dont want to join you!!

  2. Child-Free!!! I had a great party last night for grown people with money and no kids. it was awesome, and elegant.

  3. 0:04 While I support abortion rights, I am disgusted at the rationale on that piece of paper. It screams of eugenics, and sadly a lot of disabled people are socially pressured to get sterilized "for the benefit of the rest of society" — which is what the disgusting pig Margaret Sanger wanted. Disabled people should not feel as though they're a burden on society. And both sides (left AND right) are guilty of pushing eugenics.

  4. When I had my tubes tied in 1984, and then a Hysterectomy in 1988, in both cases I had to have my husband’s signed permission. We are heading backwards to those days again.

  5. Honestly, I don't blame these folks for pursuing sterilization.

  6. Ive been looking into sterilization since my early 20s. Im about to be 32 and am still getting the "you're gona regret it" bs. Like seriously they dont see us as humans who can make our own decisions, we're all just walking incubators.

  7. Men should get vasectomies too

  8. Better to not have kids as children are a vulnerability that people will use against you to do what they want you to do rather than what you believe is right for you.

  9. Vote blue until we overturn this court decision. Take a page from the far right and put judges in the Supreme Court that listen to you

  10. This is a GOOD IDEA for most women at this point!!!

  11. I wanted to get my tubes tied when I was 22 or so. I was married. I was supposed to get my husband's permission and have borne two children first.
    Abortion was legal then, but I didn't really want to do that.
    As it turned out, I had a genetic condition which made me sterile. All those birth control methods and worry were unnecessary.

  12. What gives politicians the right to tell people how to live.

  13. What will be interesting is if the Supreme Court steps in to restrict this procedure too. I already know it’s hard for people to get this.

  14. If abortion bans were made to raise the birth rate this one feels like a bit of a backfire.

  15. why don't women demand men to be sterilized since they are forcing their draconian incel bigotry on women

  16. Don't be scared. Have the baby. Some people start a family with nothing, but have gained everything with the love the child gives back. It is amazing. Every year gets easier and better. Its an epic life changing event. Full of growth and learning. Just have faith. Your parents got through it. You will too.

  17. My sister has very painful endometriosis and she's been forced to live with it because Dr.s refused to give her a hysterecotomy because "someday she might want kids" even tho she knew she never would, and because of that she's just had to suffer with the endometriosis.

  18. I got my tubes removed a few years ago, and I am so happy that I did. I have kids, but don't want more. It's my choice and lawmakers should not be involved.

  19. I had my son and my daughter in my 20s.I had a full hysterectomy at 36,never regretted it!!

  20. Just wait…after the next election when all the politicians are safe in their offices for a few years, those same states will pass laws to ban sterilization.
