Good to know....do they do that without medical indication?

[veronica-rich.livejournal.com]

Not likely. Mine had to come out because it had nine pounds' worth of fibroid tumor attached to it (meaning, instead of the ol' vaginal "yank" method of removal, they had to cut me open like an old-skool C-section). In this country, doctors don't take out a uterus without a reason like that, I don't think; at least in my contacts with women who've wanted one, without a medical "reason" for it.

[kallanda-lee.livejournal.com]

that's sort of what I expected. From what I understand, even a plain sterilization is quite hard to get if you never had kids...I even heard stories of women being refused IUD's. It just sounds nice never having to worry again...

Though, very sorry about you having a tumor!

[veronica-rich.livejournal.com]

Oh, I have a friend who is 30 and has had severe period problems since she was 17 or 18; she even had to have a bunch of fibroids removed from her uterus two years ago - but because she has no children, no doctor she's consulted will take it out. (It should be noted she doesn't want children and has said for the past 12 years she doesn't; I believe her.)

Fucking religious-based society.

[kallanda-lee.livejournal.com]

Actually I live in a (I suspect) more secular society, but they're still reluctant to do on on terms of "might change their minds" and "we do not want to be held accountable when they do."

So I'm guessing it's less about religion (here), but the deeply-rooted belief that every woman secretly wants children. And if she doesn't, she's in denial....

[veronica-rich.livejournal.com]

Actually, it's more of a legal problem. But I think that legal problem (here, at least) stems from religious pressure that makes women feel guilty for not wanting children, getting abortions, not marrying, etc. etc. - and then taking that frustration out on filing lawsuits and speaking out against these procedures. That's what I meant, though not phrased very fully or well.

[kallanda-lee.livejournal.com]

The irony of the matter, of course, is that sterilization is one of the surest ways to cut abortion rates.
But I think I have an idea about the people you're referring to, and I wouldn't exactly expect them to be open to things like logic or reasoning....

The funny thing is (or sad thing), that apparently in a more secular and less lawsuit-prone environment they still won't do it, because they do not consider young women to be able to be "sure enough" about such a life changing decision. Though-one questions if they're "sure enough" to have children at that age, and that's probably much more life-changing.
