Any predictions on how long it'll take for conservatives to start outlawing sterilizations for women?

My friend with severe PCOS and who would never be able to be pregnant had the hardest time already trying to get a hysterectomy at 28. Even asked about her future husband being ok with this decision.

So we aren't that far off already.

To be fair, men also get asked if they're really sure by some doctors when going in for a vasectomy. Even when closing in on 50 and with three kids at home. But as long as they perform the procedure I don't care.

I had mine at 42 and I don't think there was much asking if this is what I really wanted. It was an explanation of the procedure and how long I'll be out.

Day of, it was snip snip, have a good day. No need for the frozen peas on your nuts.

Oh, the procedure was fine. 40 minutes after I was called out of the waiting room I walked out and had zero issues. And also zero swimmers since. All good there.

But when I had the first appointment, he asked me if I was really sure and if my wife knew and was also fine with it. But I know that it depends on the doctor.

Below 30 with no kids is much harder.
