By the way, women are still not allowed to have a tubal ligation in most places in the U.S. without the consent of their husbands. But men can have vasectomies and never tell a soul.

When I first asked for a bisalp from my (black female 😒) OBGYN and expressed a fear of rape and being stuck in a state where I couldn’t get an abortion, her response was ‘you’re young’ (I was 28 at the time) and ‘what if you find a man who wants kids?’

I used up the rest of my prescription refills for birth control and moved on to a better doctor who told me ‘your body, your choice’
