I do find this to be a little odd, kind of drastic. But, it's her body. What people choose to do, under the guidance and care of an ethical, reputable medical professional, is their business. I certainly don't understand getting so upset about it, especially not to the point where you would harass her for it. Even if you strongly disagree with her decision, just shake your head, shrug your shoulders and move on.
People should be allowed to have diverse beliefs, and should be allowed to act on them ... as long as it does NOT adversely affect another person's life or safety.
Right-wing fucknuts forget that last part.
"Your body, my choice" is attempted murder and should be treated as such.
I might do the same if i could be forced to carry a rapist's baby, especially with contraceptives on the p2025 chopping block.
I think they meant removing the pieces rather than the much simpler and more common "tubes tied" procedure.
having read handmaid's tale i think its the right thing to do, also cant get cancer or ectopic pregnancies if the tubes are just gone afaik
as a fellow human i encourage you to learn about the bodies of all of us
It's not drastic! Look outside. Having kids in this world is outright cruel. Even within the wealthiest countries on earth, only a small sub section of the population can actually have children without bringing them into pure hell. Im an educator working in a poor to "middle class" area and even the more well off families are skipping meals, choosing to stop having children, choosing to forgo medical care, and making decisions that only you hear citizens in 3rd world countries make. If you have a kid today it's fucked.
Are you a woman?
Rather than drastic, there could be additional, medically informed factors that would make this totally reasonable.
According to the book Blind Spots, fallopian tubes begin certain highly deadly cancers lacking effective screening tests & that are often incurable when discovered. For someone who's decided not to bear children, their physicians may reasonably recommend fallopian tube removal. It's a highly effective oncological intervention.
