- According to The Journal of the American Medical Association, there has been an increase in vasectomies and tubal ligations in people aged 18 to 30 since the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. NBC News' Dr. John Torres explains how the University of Pittsburgh conducted their study and looked at the data before and after the crucial Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision.

#AbortionRights #SupremeCourt #Contraception
NOBODY has the right to force a person into parenthood EVER. I don't blame these young people ONE BIT.
Nobody forced them. Make good choices.
@@MiSSGU3RA they are making good choices for THEM.
Sterilization Regret is better than *parenthood regret*
One only affecfs me, one affects me and an innocent child who did nothing wrong.
Thank you! They leave out that side of things so often.
People seem to forget that adoption is an option too if they regretted the surgery. Lots of kids in the world that don't have a loving safe home
@@nattie911 The problem is, most people only want their own kids, any other kid is not "passing on DNA" or whatever. However, I think DNA is less important than raising a good person. You can do that with adoption just fine.
@@BooDotBoo I know, right? the whole 'my DNA is so special' is just cringeworthy.
I think you're looking at it wrong. Sterilization regret is better than abortion. Yes one only affects one person.
Sterilization regret in women is hugely overblown by the patriarchy. They really don’t want women to be free of childbearing.
“Where will all the workers come from?!?”
This is facts. They want more workers, women In The kitchen and taking care of those kids. Women want to choose what to do w their own fricking body and life
The most obvious solution - immigration - but Republican lawmakers are too r***t to consider that.
It’s less than 5%. Not a big deal.
Exactly. I've met very few older women who regret not having kids. Most are even more sure of their choice when they've gotten to 40/50/60, watching others struggle with kids. They've built great lives with friends and other family and they don't need kids. However, the economy (and rich people) need more workers and that's what this is really about. I'm surprised that's not plain as day to everyone.
Illegal immigration duh!
I got my sterilization done immediately after that decision. I NEVER want children.
Queen
How did you get your sterilization done? Did any of the doctors refuse to do it?
Thankfully I had a good doctor that actually listens.
Good for you! Your body your choice!
I told my doctor when I was 18 that I wanted to be sterilized. She refused to do it, because she said I might change my mind or my husband might want kids (I wouldn't marry someone who wants kids if I don't want kids, duh). I met this same answer a few times before I just stopped trying. Anyway, years later and I STILL don't have or want kids. Most of the men I meet don't really want kids, either. I doubt it'll change as time goes on. So, trying to make people think they don't know what they want at a young age is very annoying. Do some people regret it? I'm sure they do, but some of us know we are not ever planning on having kids. There is also adoption, though I don't really support that, but there are a lot of kids in the system. I hope more people go get sterilized. What have they done to make conditions better for people who would want to have kids? If you can barely afford rent and food while working a full time job, why would you want to bring a child into that? Like, I don't think anyone is ignorant or foolish for deciding to get sterilized; probably the smartest thing many people are doing, these days.
When "pro-life" policies lead to less life.
Better than killing an unborn child
The infant mortality rate in Texas shot up 12% after their ban.
That makes no sense at all. Your head must hurt alot.
@@FredPena-rd5cf can't have an abortion so they just went with not getting pregnant at all. Pro life polices are removing the abortion option so people are just sterilizing instead. You won't get your babies now. Win win for everyone. Enjoy.
I'm not glad that people are suffering, but I'm glad that this has backfired on them so much. People are really being forced to draw a line in the sand now.
This is literally the biggest Uno reverse card moment happening in the US right now.
😂 yes!
It's find out season.
👏👏👏
* insert flaming Elmo GIF here 😂 *
That's why illegal immigration is so popular by the government. New slave wage workers into the system with our tax dollars.
I decided I didn't ever want children when I was 13. By far, the best decision I've ever made.
My 14 year old daughter is already saying she doesn’t want kids
I wish I got my tubes removed sooner
I’m sorry that you will leave no legacy.
@@mayapastrana4444Children aren't a legacy. They are offspring. Legacy is what you leave to society. Plenty of us have children who aren't capable of haig children themselves so does that mean that my profoundly disabled son who will never have children means my legacy is over? Wow, what a cruel thing to say to those of us who have my son's situation or what about people who want kids, but can't have them. Legacy is comprised of your actions and how you leave this world. Will it be for the better or worse?
@@mayapastrana4444What a dumb thing to say
When I was younger, abortion was illegal so I had my tubes tied at 26. I went on to raise my two biological children plus dozens of foster children, a ward, and 2 adopted children With all the kids needing homes, it seemed more logical to foster or adopt than to keep adding to overpopulation.
Thank you lady! Wow! You are amazing!!!
Awesome, but overpopulation is a myth.
Now THAT'S a legacy!
There is no overpopulation...nonsense spewed by uneducated people.
Wow you are a Saint!
I was sterilized at 22. My body, my choice. No regrets.
Honestly I’m surprised young women are able to get this procedure. Every story I’ve ever heard about it includes doctors refusing to do it or trying to talk them out of it because they “might change their mind”
Back when I bothered to go to the doctor, I got yelled at by mine because I had asked the cost of getting my tubes tied at the financial office three years prior and she found out and had told me she wouldn't allow it and I would one day change my mind. Whelp, it's now been 19 more years and I've yet to change my mind lol
I was 34 when I got a salpingectomy (tubes removed) and I had 2 kids already but boy did they ask and delayed my procedure 2 hours and ask a million times at the hospital if I was sure. YES I ABSOLUTELY WAS.
After you reach the age of 18 you have your full adult rights. Older people don’t have the rights that allow them access to more medical options. Unless they want a civil rights
There are plenty of doctors who will do it, no questions ask. These doctors would rather sterilize people instead of worrying about ending in jail because they had to perform an abortion even for medical reasons.
I asked to have my tubes tied after I had my only son, 16 years ago. My doctor said no because I wasn't married and under a certain age (I was 28 when I had my son).
The saddest part is that it's the most responsible people being sterilized - the ones who could one day become excellent parents because they're forward-thinking, conscientious and intrinsically motivated. The ones who will likely have the most money as they grow older. Just who is having kids?
I agree 1000% All you have to do is google “birth rate by income” to witness the 800 lb gorilla in the room.
I’d never encourage anyone who doesn’t want kids to have them but we are rapidly turning into a culture where the most responsible people with the highest wages, who actually think about their reproductive choices, the prospects of children are having the LEAST number of children while those who couldn’t give a crap less about the conditions under which they have kids are reproducing the most. This is not going to be good for the future at all.
Idiocracy 2006 here we go! You should catch the movie.
Yep, this is something I've noticed, too. The very people I think would be good, sensible parents are the ones being sterilized. The people who, let's be honest, aren't the best parents or people, are the ones having 3+ kids. And a lot of times, it's the kids suffering. I see story after story of horrible people killing their kids, because they may have had kids, but definitely didn't care about them.
@@BooDotBoo And yet when I say that some people - like those who have had to have their kids taken away from them- should be sterilized, people get up in arms. Anyone who has proven that they will mistreat children shouldn't be enabled to create more children to mistreat.
The uneducated. "Idiocracy" was unfortunately foretelling.
It’s far better to regret NOT having children than to regret having them. If you’re unsure, don’t do it.
I got my tubes tied and it's the best choice I ever made. I've never wanted children and don't want to be forced to have them.
Children are a luxury that no one can afford
Not true.
The reality is that people are worried about their options and by restricting the option of choice forces people to look at long term solutions. People are very concerned about being able to afford to survive at the moment let alone the worries around unplanned/unwanted pregnancies.
Exactly. If you already can barely afford to survive, why in the world would you want a child to add to that? Some people don't care about that and will have 6 kids when they can barely afford to eat, but most adults with sense do not want to make their or a child's situation worse. Especially a child that isn't even born yet.
I got my tubes tied at 24 after having my 3rd child. The way I see it, if i change my mind, IVF is an option. And if I can’t afford IVF then I probably couldn’t afford another baby anyways.
You could always adopt too.🙂 I actually think that's the most loving choice, honestly. Giving a kid that's already here a good life instead of having to grow up in an orphanage as opposed to bringing even more babies into the world.
IVF won't be an option. Our govt is taking it away.
@@Benz5469how many have you adopted?
@@Benz5469 the adoption industry (and it is an industry) is absolutely full of human trafficking and is extremely exploitative and harmful, do some digging on it and you’ll see. statistically most mothers who don’t keep their babies don’t want to give up their babies and are coerced and manipulated to do it. People will spend $100000+ to adopt a child, when studies have shown that if birth moms had around $4,000 of support they’d be able to and would keep their babies. Adoption is trauma. I would love to help people, but I would much rather do that by helping another family stay together as opposed to participating in splitting a family up.
@@IcerinAlaska49 depends on what state you live in. The likelihood that all states would ban it is very very low. Especially with it being as profitable of an industry as it is. And even if I’m wrong, oh well. I’ve got 3 anyways.
I got my tubes tied after the Supreme Court decision. Can’t take the risk.
I’ve heard stories that doctors can refuse doing that. Did you have an issue with that?
@@LilyEvans1996I did, I’m 21 and had my 3 baby six weeks ago and they are still refusing to tie my tubes. I had to get an iud instead
@@madisonwehunt4012 I’m so sorry :( this is insane
@@madisonwehunt4012 did they say why?
@@LilyEvans1996 they said because I was young and that i might be in a different marriage and would want another baby with that person
The crazy thing is that some doctors will refuse to give women tubal ligations due to their religious beliefs.
More often it’s because “you might change your mind” or “your future husband might want kids”, just a bunch of hypotheticals.
@@evilsharkey8954Is it wrong that I'd say "yeah, I might change my mind about motherhood *after having a baby* too, so can I keep your number? You're down to take care of it *when I change my mind* right?"
@@FirstnameLastnames In Arizona, it is now.
We are peak dystopian when more and more people don’t want kids because they think the world around them is failing. It’s sad that many of us can’t afford kids and have to make that choice
They don't like to be forced to do anything.
Why not force women into full body coverings like in the middle east?
It’s the cost, too. Fewer people can afford to raise kids
I agree! It is genuinely sad. In the past, people would have kids without giving it much thought more often, and now we’ve swung in the other direction. There isn’t a middle ground. Having kids is definitely hard and takes your freedom away, but it gives a change and new spice to life, adds another season to life. You will get your freedom back. But of course not everyone should have kids or would be good parents. Being a mamma is making me into a stronger person that can do hard things.
I am a mamma to a 2 year old and a newborn on the way next month. I feel very fortunate we can afford to have kids, and afford to set them up for a good future too. There should be more pro children/ family policies in our government, and not just pro life policies… (personally we’re atheists and very much pro choice).
As someone who wouldn't be having kids regardless of economic circumstance I do have to agree with you.
The fact that it is not really a viable choice for those of us who can observe the reality that we are currently living in, yeah, that's messed up.
@@rachelle2227getting your freedom back is not guaranteed, Especially if you wind up having a child that either is born with a special needs condition, Or becomes permanently disabled and unable to care for themselves. Or like most of us had to do in our early twenties moves back in with their parents because they cannot afford to live on their own.
It’s crazy that us women who don’t want kids will undergo a MAJOR procedure before ever wanting kids. Only reason I haven’t pulled the trigger yet is because I tend to have complications from surgery as it is. But I’ll do it if it comes down to it.
Same here! Surgery isn't easy, and complications are just not very fun.
go ahead please
If it helps, I was only down for about 2 days after my tubal ligation. Had my surgery on Thursday and was back to work Tuesday, probably could have been back Monday but I requested Monday as a day off just in case. :)
Looking into a hysterectomy. I hope this procedure becomes more common and talked about. Not having a period can be life changing for those of us who are in a lot of pain
More women getting hysterectomy would beef up our military alot. They are always griping not enough young people are fit to serve. I would have happily joined the military when I was young if I didn't have endometriosis.
I just had a hysterectomy in 2022 for my endometriosis. I can’t recommend it enough for patients who are in severe pain from the condition.
Definitely, if you're in a lot of pain have the hysterectomy. Don't wait. I was in the same boat and a robotic hysterectomy was AMAZING. I went in at 5:30 am and was able to return home at 4:30 pm. Really wish I'd done it years earlier.
Yup. The first consultation with the doctor to have my tubes removed was the week after the Supreme Court leak (age 27). My rights are non-negotiable. Religious people and politicians are not dictating my life. Period. Best decision I ever made and the recovery wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought it’d be lol.
What was the recovery like?
Proud of you!
@@ceterisparibus8966 I walked annoyingly slow for the first week. As long as I was consistent with Tylenol and Ibuprofen, the pain/discomfort was fine. Like a 3 out of 10, but definitely don’t forget to take them or that will spike up lol. Otherwise, it was fine and I’d do it again easily. I’ve had dentist appointments/recovery that were far worse. Edit: the anxiety prior is the worst part. It really makes people panic/stressed. But in hindsight I had nothing to worry about. Just have to find an experienced doctor.
@@ceterisparibus8966 I feel like RUclips is deleting my responses lol. The recovery isn’t bad. I walked annoyingly slow for the first week. Pain/discomfort is 3/10. Tylenol and ibuprofen will help with that (definitely don’t forget those like I did once lol). The añxǐetý prior is the worst part. But afterwards, you realize it wasn’t bad. I’ve had dentist appointments/recovery that were way worse. I’d do it again easily.
@@ceterisparibus8966 so this site is not liking my responses for some reason lol. 4/10 max for discomfort. I’ve had dentist appointments that were worse. I have zero regrets and would do it again.
Don’t have kids and don’t want them. Happy to say I got my tubes removed at 34 🎉
Me too!! ❤
Me too ❤
I got my tubes tied at age 24 no children. Now I'm 38 and I don't regret it one moment of my life!
I know 2 women in their 50’s who go decided this in their 20s. Unfortunately, I lost track of them because I had 3 kids. They are the love of my life, in addition to my husband, and they are my legacy. They are in their 20s and I encourage them to have lots of children.
@@mayapastrana4444Your kids are YOUR legacy. Not for other people. Don't project your values onto others.
@@annmarieknapp She didn’t.
No Children here either -- Its been an AMAZING life!!! :)
@@annmarieknapp I don't see where she projected any values onto anyone. She only stated her own experience. Overly triggered much?
This is great!! People taking back their power for their life destiny!!!
I,aging that. You take away the option for family planning so people just opt not to have kids or get more permanent contraceptives
The only regret we had when it came to the vasectomy and the tubal ligation was the difficulty in finding the final cost of the tubal ligation. Like wow super easy for the vasectomy ($500) but since insurance won't cover tubal ligation, I think it cost like 2~3K out of pocket.
Uterine ablation is way easier, safer, and often covered by insurance:). I had mine done after our third and never menstruated again and cannot have a baby. My husband also had a vasectomy to be extra safe.
My tubal was covered by insurance. Was $25k
My tubal was covered by insurance and was less than $1k
@@BeaudoinsBrushOMG!!! That's ridiculous.
@@ohmoflife1 eh... that may pose other health risks, that a tubaligation would not, later on. I am not familiar with the process, but I think not having a menstrual cycle might not be good for women who are not of menopause age.
Got my tubes tied after 2 kids . Don’t regret it at all . If I were to ever want more kids I’ll look into fostering or adoption
It's not exactly difficult to find out why. And yes, a large percentage of that increase is very much due to the SCOTUS ruling.
I don't believe there will be too much regret.
Funny, my daughter just told me today that she considering getting her tubes tied because of Arizona's supreme burrito court's decision. Thanks Arizona, you took my daughter's right to choose from her so she took it back the only way she could. Guess my family lineage is dead.
So sorry to hear that someone is forcing her to have her tubes tied.
Or her burrito? 😮
....you'll be fine...Good for HER!!!
But how did we get here? Let’s learn from this. Congrats to your daughter. She may be saving her own life.✊🏾
Thank God. We don't need anymore of you.
I made the decision to not have kids at 23. Found a doctor who would do the surgery for me at age 29. Best decision ever!!
Enjoy the decline
I will most definitely!!!
Likewise! 😎 💅
Oh we will
Living out our best lives ❤ stay mad men
It’s really been the best. My boyfriend loves it lol
😂 Its backfiring on them
Conservatives and evangelical Christians will have kids and multiply while the left doesn’t multiply 😂
Got sterilized (bilateral salpingectomy) the year before at 26. No regrets, only relief and peace of mind. But it is not affordable to the average american. Mine cost $3.5K.
Got my uterus ripped out when I was 33. Best decision ever!
My niece just had this done at 21 with the mentality that if she does want children she can always adopt. She practically raised her younger siblings, so she was confident she wouldn't ever want children. Her mother sobbed. I couldn't be more proud of her for doing what she believes is best for her own life!
How much did it cost and did you have to travel out of state/country to do it?
@@ticklemebreathless1394
I wonder. Why was her mother sobbing though? Did she have a problem with her daughter's decision?
@@aliciab6193My hysterectomy (done for medical reasons) would have cost me a few thousand after insurance if I hadn’t already met my deductible for the year. My tubal ligation (done before the hysterectomy and done just for sterilization purposes) was free (under the ACA, this procedure is still basically free for women in the US) and I only paid a couple hundred for the anesthesiologist’s fee.
@@aliciab6193 with insurance about 6K.
I'm 42 and I don't have kids and I don't regret it at all.
mental health declines as you get older. its the reason people regret not having kids. there is no such thing as being stronger than microorganisms controlling your mental health.
I don't see any problem here.
In fact I see an advantage to this
Yea we already knew democrats would eventually stop populating. This is a plus.
There's no problem at all. I love watching birth rates decline.
Neither do I. I hate abortion and this is actually is a case of my body my choice since it doesn't involve murder
@@vinnie9458Why dramatize it? Homicide refers to the born.
I was born with life threatening health issues and they've followed me throughout my life, so I've always been very aware that having kids just wasn't going to be in the cards for me. I finally got my tubes completely removed right before the pandemic when I was twenty seven because I could see where the country was headed and I knew that being stuck in the Bible belt meant that if something were to happen, I would unfortunately end up getting trapped in the middle of it and that just wasn't something that I wanted to deal with.
Lol...that will bring the birth rate down even more
I'd rather regret not having children than regret having them
Congrats Republicans. All the birth/care bills on middle class women don’t help either. Everyone ignores that when a baby is born, the ENTIRE bill goes to the woman. While the baby is “its own person”, guess who is charged for its entrance? Not the baby, and not the father. Only the mother. If you make 60k a year and don’t qualify for Medicaid, and you don’t have a high cost insurance, that whole bill goes to the woman. And who is liable for the daycare costs? The MOTHER is also liable for the daycare costs. Only illegal immigrants or people who do not work and have no savings get all those costs for free. If you have more than 3000 saved in the bank, you have to use it all before you get any help for any Medicaid or daycare and you also will not get that help if you are working full-time at a decent job. The middle class is the most attacked class.
Vote blue. It’s the lessor of two evils and way more likely to treat the working poor (middle class) with dignity and respect.
They aren't ignoring it, they're counting on it.
@@ErndeaI'm sure they are.... they are looking to the next generation of slave labor...
Agreed.
The best thing to do, is pull your money out the bank and take advantage of programs. Politicians, both democrats and Republicans are the biggest threat to to the country..and those radical Christians.
Maybe women would consider an IUD if we were provided with pain relief. For nearly all women, IUD insertion is excruciating.
Not excited for my removal 😢
My gyno knows how sensitive I am to pain. When I asked her about an IUD, she leveled with me and was like, you're kind of small down there and the pain would take you out, so I don't suggest it. We went another route, and she's going to be tying my tubes soon, so I don't have to come back every few years to get new BC.
It's crazy how painful it supposedly is. I've heard a few women say it's not too bad, but I've heard more stories of it hurting than not. Shoot, I have a friend who had one put in a few years ago and she was said it was the worst pain of her life, including a few days after where she had to take pain meds and honestly couldn't move. How is that even allowed, tbh?
It's generally recommended for women who have already had kids. And, of course, the Reichwing want to outlaw IUDs as well.
It is a shame the simple IUDs like Lippy's Loop are gone. It did not hurt at all to install or remove. I had mine for 28 years. Also it did not emit any chemicals.
@@BooDotBoo how is childbirth allowed when most women say that's the worst pain they've experienced in their life and they can be in pain for hours to days afterward. Oh right, because it's a woman's choice. Period.
When choices get reduced, you have to make other choices. We have too many children as it is.
You do realize that the US is suffering from a serious lack of new births, right?
We literally aren’t even at replacement level.
@@scillyautomaticAnd that will continue, if more young people have permanent contraception. Hopefully, more young men will opt for vasectomies too. Can’t risk getting pregnant in the US with no pregnancy healthcare available and going to prison for murder if there are complications.
@@helenpauls1496I swear these folk do not understand cause and effect nor evolution. People want to live a good life...The American Dream...in SAFE neighborhoods without needing to spend $15k/month just to live (my made up costs to cover a family of 4 in a home in a great neighborhood).
That's technically whites... And I just posted it's backfiring on them. You're right, this is about increasing birth rates for them.
I have never wanted children, I cannot afford them even if I wanted them. I got my tubes tied in 2017 since Trump was in office and I was pretty sure “something bad” was going to happen. Turns out I was right for doing so.
I was getting BC that was lasting a few years at a time, but I've got an appointment to get something permanent soon, so I'm added to the list of people they are talking about. It's best to do so with things being so uncertain. I'd rather regret than be stuck with children I honestly don't want because kids don't deserve that.
4B
Based
I wanted a tubal ligation when I was in my early 20s. But Planned Parenthood in the 1970s required that I 1) have the permission of my husband
2) Currently have two children
I thought adoption was fine, although now I don't think my husband would have agreed.
In my mid thirties, I found at that I had a genetic mutation that caused me to have zero progesterone. I think I did get pregnant when I was 21 or 22 but I thought I was having ovulation pains. Later on an X-ray, I saw my fallopian tubes. One was perfect, and the other was mangled. A clue to a failed pregnancy.
I don’t blame them 😅
Didn't have any permanent procedure done, but I did get a copper IUD put in. I'm 4' 11". I'm not risking getting pregnant when there's the good possibility that the birthing process might shatter my pelvis into a million pieces, and the government can just decide that I'm just a disposable baby factory that needs to go down with the ship. I can at least hope that this extremist shift has shot the Republican party in the foot in terms of the next election. Maybe then we can see some semblance of sanity return.
I hope these young ladies have prosperous and joyful futures. Whether they become fur mamas or choose school I hope they find joy.❤
Long kive 4B.
I love 4B
Yes!
Idk how people that young are affording the procedure, insurance wont cover it and idk where they found doctors to do it either. I have wanted a hysterectomy since i was 18 because of my endometriosis and the doctors all laugh and say no doctor in the state will do that on a woman younger than 36. I also was told insurance will only pay for tubes tied or hysterectomy if you have 3 kids and at least one is male.
Mysoginistic doctors, go to other state or even Canada where you will be treated with more respect. Planned Parenthood might be able to help you.
Yep. Find a good doctor in Mexico if you have to. My parents have their surgeries there.
I have Endo, too, and they kept telling me no, too. I finally found a gyno who agreed to do it. Thankfully, it seems to be covered by my insurance, so I'll be fine in a couple of months. Do research. Find a doctor who will do it, and they will likely lead you to ways to make it more affordable or somewhere with a payment plan. Or you could go to another country and get it done. Lots of options for those who really want it done.
According to ACA regulations insurances are absolutely supposed to cover it. But they don’t want people to know that lol.
You watch in the states where abortion is illegal it will soon be really hard to get these surgeries. It seems a bunch of old men want to decide about women's rights. It was hard for my daughter at 38 to get a hysterectomy after having 3 kids. She already had a tubal which took a year to get. She had alot of bleeding. It's just crazy
There will be no anti hysterectomy regardless of what propaganda tells you no one cares what you do with your body it's the murder of innocent life people have a problem with. If I do see government trying to tell women they can't get the surgery then I'm on your side cause that's government overreach
After 2 c-sections I told my doctor I wanted a tubal ligation because I was done. My doctor was relieved to hear that because a 3rd c-section would not be in the best interest of MY health.
I never wanted any kids has an abortion, no regrets. After all those sacrifices, the baby will grow up, fight you and leave eventually 🤷
Stop saying women regret this procedure later in life if you're not going to cite actual numbers from peer-reviewed research - what percent? Is it higher than the complication rate? What are the actual reasons the actual women give for their regret? Otherwise, you're just perpetuating an unfounded belief that sees women denied health care that would genuinely improve their lives. I cant count the number of times I was told I would regret it later and therefore couldn't get a hysterectomy despite debilitating cramps and frequent, heavy bleeding even though I have NEVER wanted children and in fact would be risking my life if I got pregnant due to a medical condition. Guess what? Now almost 40, still suffering, and still DO NOT WANT CHILDREN (or death by pregnancy because frankly the risk of sudden death on any ordinary day is adventure enough for me).
Yeah, this kind of screams as a "scare" piece, but I believe most young people won't fall for it and will continue getting these surgeries done, happily.
Ppl don't want children
Remove the tubes and likely prevent the most common and deadly form of ovarian cancer, high-grade serous carcinoma.
Uterine ablation 😊 and a vasectomy is a perfect dual protective choice for a married couple 😊
Will they ban this next? I guess we'll find out soon enough.
I saw it coming when 45 was sworn in. I had my tubes *removed* two months later. I'm childfree by choice and won't let men in DC force me to bear any.
its more responsible. the decision to not have kids is made BEFORE you engage in making one.
Stuck between a hysterectomy or getting my tubes completely removed. Not having to deal with a painful monthly cycle sounds like a dream!
You did this to your young people.
Made the choice to remain childish as a teen. No regrets at all.
Meanwhile some woman is having 17 kids with 8 different guys and she can't even afford to take care of them.
That's actually what conservatives want. They want anyone who isn't wealthy and well-connected as dumb and desperate as possible. It makes us easier to exploit and dominate.
Unless it's r*p*, no one forced such a woman to sleep with 8 different guys. Self-control and accountability are beautiful things, yet these values are lacking in our culture unfortunately.
@@tryphenarose384 you're fine with all those unwanted children living terrible lives though
@@Erndea What an assumption. Life is hardly easy for anyone. Life is hard, though I don't wish suffering on anyone. I would hope the adult men and women would be responsible enough to think of that before conceiving kids. But if a woman is spreading her legs open for the whole neighborhood and yet doesn't want children which is the obvious consequence, then there is plenty of birth control and permanent sterilization for those who don't want anymore kids. Your options are there. Take it or leave it, unless you apparently want 17 kids because of your own lack of self control. You did it to you. Can't cry woe is me and be a victim from that.
@@tryphenarose384no one forced the men to abandon their children either but look at who majority of single parents are.
men's 'surgery' is a 5 minute procedure. Rhett and Link did it on camera. Wasn't even in an operating room.
Maybe instead of rushing to this, we should focus on removing the Christian Taliban from power in this country?
I wonder at what point they’re gonna outlaw sterilizations
Maybe we should let the 'Atheist Mao Zedong Taliban' rule the country instead, that should work out just fine
@@smrk2452 ask Gilead that question
Amen.
@@smrk2452 They're working on it. They want to outlaw all forms of contraception.
I’m getting my tubes tied next month, at 31 after my 3rd baby…I do still have some concerns over people who do it under 25, but I also believe some people were meant to do other things than become parents I just have concerns for people who may change their minds later. I know for certain I am done having kids, but I’ve had kids at ever decade of my adult life, 18, 27, and 31 and I’ve been through the single mom struggle at 19, I’ve been happily married for 5 years, I’ve seen both sides of this coin, and can understand why some younger people wouldn’t want to take that risk, it’s just in my opinion a bigger decision the younger you are and you need to be absolutely sure.
Believe me, most of us will not regret it, lol. I'm just reading about you having 3 kids and that sounds like a horrible life for me. I'm glad you have them and you're happy with that, but many of us just KNOW we don't ever want kids. And many of us simply can't afford it, even if we wanted them. That's a big part people are ignoring. It would be stupid to have kids you cannot afford.
Even if we change our minds, it's better than having kids and not wanting them and letting them be neglected or worse because of it.
We need choices for our bodies!!
I had my tubes tied at 25, in 1983. I have never regretted that decision, it would have been regrettable to have a child I never wanted.
Until they ban that as well. Isn't that going against God's wiil? According to Republicans anything that makes your life your life, Republicans are against.
They are just fine protecting men.

@@annmarieknappBest comment ever!!!
Norplant is also an option. Lasts a few years
When I was in my early 20's my frind had her tubes "tied" after 3 C-Sections in 3.5 years. All was good, but for years she had period problems. They decided to "untie" the tubes to see if that would help. the dr said she would probably not get pregnant; she was fine with that. 8 weeks later she went to the doc and told him, "You lied." Yes, she was pregnant. That was 35 years ago.
An American Voting for trump is like a chicken Voting for Colonel Sanders
Now democrats are in power. Why do you blame republicans?
Keep believing the MSDNC lies. You're a good little sheep and O'biden loves you. Trump 2024🇺🇸 100 million strong💪
It's so sad that there are so many children already here that need looking after too, not just the unborn. Sometimes I do think that the attention just seems to reduce once a baby is already born. Imagine in EVERY single anti abortioner adopted a homeless child. That would be really amazing.
To all the pro-lifers: In the immortal words of Nelson Muntz "Ha Ha."
👏👏👏🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂
The conservative right will reproduce and multiply, I can’t say that will be the case for the left tho
Just turned 26 in March. My major deals with children and I just began nannying. The more I’m around them I want them but then see how hard it is rn to raise a family…. Yeah I’m ok with being the rich aunt 😅 I won’t tie my tubes but celibacy sounds amazing more and more
Good! Yes! My son is 25 and he is scheduling a vasectomy this week (he has no children). This world is OVER populated and people are NUTS! No one should bring a child into this mess, imo.
NOT SURPRISED
This is a beautiful example of evolution. Dutton is right, this kind of people is self-destructive.
In ten years these people will be crying about regretting it then there will be lawsuits blaming doctors
For some women in states like Arizona with a TOTAL abortion ban, permanent sterilization could save their lives. If women get pregnant these states right now, they won’t be able to get an abortion unless their lives are at risk which no one is specific on. Health complications during pregnancy can result in sterilization and death. If it was a choice between that or permanent sterilization, I would choose permanent sterilization too. Having kids is a personal choice between the woman and her doctor and all the nonsense only makes it worse.
Well, if govt will not support reversable surgery????
Regretting NOT having kids is infinitely better for the person, the potential child and society than regretting haing kids
Aren’t vasectomies reversible? Like they just put a clip in place and can remove it later. Let’s just do that to baby boys when they’re born. Let MEN be responsible for birth control for a while. Let MEN be the ones to scream about body autonomy for a bit and see how it goes. See if we suddenly find other options when MEN are the ones dying. .Yes, it’s radical but is it worse than arguing about “killing” a child? No.
They aren't always reversible. It's still a surgery and other factors can be at play.
Many men did get vasectomies after Roe v Wade was overturned.
@@grisom5863 That’s with any surgery which includes abortion. It can go wrong and put the mother at risk. The only difference here is men get the surgery instead of women
Who cares about the reasons
Good, finally people are taking responsibility for themselves.
This may be part of a larger trend. People cant afford to have kids in todays world.
So the bottom line is a free physical relationship
Because both genders are on the rise
Is pregnancy a responsibility or choice🤔
It tells you something about the spiritual illness of people when they'd rather permanently make themselves infertile than stop sleeping around.
There’s too many people on the planet anyway. Do we have a breakdown on race, employment and economic status?
There were "too many people on this planet" in the 1960's. Take a look around. There are literally billions more and life expectance has dramatically increase all around the world. Don't let a website tell you what to think.
We literally aren’t even at replacement level.
if you believe there are too many people on the planet anyway then you are part of the problem.
@@Ravi-rl8ttYou’re like the still small voice pointing out the obvious to these commies.
Stupid old people born in the 50s still controlling everyone and everything.
getting there tubes untied is not cheap & there is no guarantee.
Got mine removed entirely. I wanted a no-baby guarantee.
There is also uterine ablation. Lol @ the sterilization regret propaganda.
No matter if you’re been called infertile or whatever, after reading Dobbie Nerkstrol's guide, I ended up pleasantly surprised. Within 60 days anyone can get pregnant, feeling the changes in your body the first few weeks. After go’ogling her I understood it's not a miracle kind of thing like the title suggests, but you can bet you'll boost your chances.
I did this at 21 after having three beautiful daughters. There was abuse in that relationship and I had to do what I had to do. Now I'm with someone I truly love and guess what, I can't have anymore kids. This has filled my heart and soul with an unexpressive amount of grief and regret. Believe me, you may not feel this right now, however, you will be around 30 years old and alone regretting what you've done. Fine it's your choice but you have to ask yourself deep down where is the resistance of having children coming from. My guess it's out of social conformity and a hive mind mentality. Unable to make up your own mind, you follow the herd because you lack critical thought. Hopefully you can live with it without any regrets.
@Wyzerwizardness79
There's IVF.. if you want to have your biological children.
When you become pregnant its no longer just MY BODY
Is the increase in infertility rates in the US alarming enough to cause the banning of abortions? While it's true that environmental degradation can provoke adverse consequences, such as increase infertility, we mustn't conflate this with the abortion debate. Additionally, the success rate of reversing permanent contraception is not particularly high.
everything is connecting std and infertility on the rise for sure. i wonder if the gov think that abortion ban is the solution.
@@Elaine_Who they’re also concerned about the workforce
The issue is conspiracy theories. Specifically, that the powers that be need more laborers and/or white people are dying out (the latter is easily debunked). And, well, old men attempting to overpower women as they always try to do. typically bs.
It's Gen Z that will suffer the most from this. There is always the option of moving to a state where abortion is legal. States are not finished forming their own laws regarding it yet also. Seems like a impulse thing to me and I don't think a lot of Gen Z actually knows what they want to be when they grow up yet even.
They know they don't want to be forced into having children in a country where living is impossible and a planet on fire
In my opinion adults make their own decisions but me personally i'm gonna have kids in the future with my wife so people can do what they want
