A lot of talk about what's going to be coming next down the pipeline, Post-Roe

But this is an 'interesting' thing my lovely GF (a medical professional) informed me of hearing about today, talking with her associates (mostly women).

"Some doctors still think a woman needs her husband’s permission for surgery on her own body. A Washington mother of two shared her story of discrimination at her OBGYN, and her story went viral — not because it was rare, but because many women could relate."

I found it astounding, I had no idea. We know there's something 'next' ... wonder if it could be this. Total Handmaid shit.

it really is going back to the old days, which, as we know ... is a favorite notion of our conservative countrymen.

If you think your family is complete or if you don’t have and don’t want children - why take a chance?
I know that vasectomy is less invasive and an easier surgery. But I think many women (I was one of them) want control of their bodies themselves. I knew when I was pregnant with #2 that he would be my last baby. If I’d been widowed/divorced and remarried, I was still done having kids.
