Published today in a JAMA Health Forum research letter, policy researchers from the University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health and Boston University show how the 2022 U.S. Supreme Court ruling affected preferences for permanent contraception among males and females between the ages of 18 to 30. It’s the first study to assess how the Dobbs ruling affected both females and male interest in permanent contraception procedures. What the researchers found was that despite all the attention on male vasectomies post-Dobbs, the rise in tubal sterilizations among females was twice as high as the increase among vasectomies in males.

Tubal ligations are already regulated in some red states. There are age and childbirth history requirements. A young woman in these states cannot just "decide" to have the procedure. She must meet criteria set by conservatives.

Fucking atrocious. What do these red states actually produce?? Only two things I can think of are Texas instruments and mouser electronics.

Can you confirm that these are state level requirements and not just doctors forcing their opinions on their patients? I was under the impression it was just a thing certain doctors did.

My old coworker who lived in AZ was 21 and couldn't get her tubes tied until some certain age. I don't remember if it's the doctor's office or the law.

I don’t remember if it’s the doctor’s office or the law.

Most of the time it's the individual doctors. For example, my wife had to shop around for a hysterectomy to find a doctor willing to do it, despite multiple medical conditions related to her reproductive system that would be resolved by it, and despite being told by several of the same doctors that she was probably never able to have children. Most of them refusing because she hadn't had any children, despite also claiming she couldn't in the first place.
