    People with vaginas - get your tubes tied if you can. I got mine tied a few years ago and recovery was only a few days with minimal pain. Insurance covered it. I’d rather never have children than die from trying.

      States like Texas are killing so many women with this bullshit… https://www.propublica.org/article/texas-maternal-mortality-analysis-methodology

      but honestly, I gotta wonder what the fuck the docs are doing following orders that kill their patients. I get that texas is all about punishing anyone but they have a literal oath to do no harm. medical professionals keep letting women die due to texas’s bullshit rules.

      shame on the AMA for allowing it to continue.

      I got my tubes yeeted the minute I could after Roe was overturned and my state began talking about a 6wk limit. No regrets, just anger for everyone who isn’t in the same position in life as me and still has to worry about unwanted pregnancy.

        But getting your tubes tied is reversible and we won’t be in this mess forever (copium)

          Tubal ligations are generally not reversible. They’re considered a permanent form of contraception and any doctor who performans them makes this clear to their patients.
