me and it took years and a trip to PP to finally get an IUD. Most doctors didn't want to "possibly damage" my fertility even though I was going because I never ever wanted a baby. Fucking ridiculous, being treated like a child and forced to pay as if it takes one person to make a baby. Men should be paying equally. They cause the condition.

doctors would only perform a sterilization if the woman's age, times the numbers of children she had, was greater than 120.

fucking male control of women's bodies. and they don't want to lose that control.
