@jeffowski To be fair, they also do not protest or complain when a woman has her tubes tied, or is fit for a diaphragm. At least not yet.

Sterilization is not the same thing as abortion. Not without special pleading and supernatural nonsense, anyway.

For me the key issue is bodily autonomy. I can't see any more fundamental freedom. Even though a pregnant woman has another human inside of her body, it is HER body it is inside. It is her decision. We need to reduce the number of abortions by reducing the need for them.

@kbowersox @jeffowski the point is that women often *cannot* get their tubes tied unless they already have several children--and if they are young even having kids isn't enough. Drs will tell women things like "you need to wait until you find a husband and then see what he thinks."
